Easy Spring Coconut Curry
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 medium sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 3-5 teaspoons curry powder* Note 1
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 baby bok choy* Note 2, chopped
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 yellow summer squash chopped
- ½ bunch asparagus chopped
- 1-2 cooked chicken breasts such as rotisserie chicken, chopped
- 4 oz snow peas cut
- ½ lime
Garnish:
- Lime wedges

Instructions
- Heat a dutch oven over medium high heat. Add oil and heat it for 30 seconds.
- Add cubed sweet potatoes and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add curry powder and cook for another minute or so, stirring frequently to avoid burning the spices.

- Add bok choy and coconut milk. Mix well and bring it to a boil.
- Taste sweet potato and if it’s tender, add squash, asparagus and chicken. Cook for a minute or two, until chicken is heated through.
- Right before serving, stir in snow peas. (Don’t cook the curry for too long after you add squash, asparagus and snow pea. You don’t want to overcook them into a mush.)
- Squeeze juice of half a lime and serve over steamed rice with lime wedges and cilantro.
