Recipe of the Week: Mango Curry

THUG KITCHEN has become my go-to cookbook. Not only are the recipe’s easy to prepare and delicious to eat, they’re also a creative—and healthy—take on vegetarian cuisine. So when my friend started raving about their Mango Curry recipe, I knew I had to make it for my family; and let me tell you, it was spectacular. Even my kids approved! Which—if you’re a parent you know—isn’t always an easy feat.

If you’re like me and a fan of spice, I highly recommend adding more red curry paste or a good quality sugar-free hot sauce to this dish. It takes it up a notch. If you’re making this dish for kids however, I suggest that you stick with the recipe below.

Enjoy!

Instructions

[list type=”1″]

  • Grab a medium pot and heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the green beans, zucchini, and bell pepper and cook until the vegetables begin to soften up, another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, and curry paste and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the soy sauce, coconut milk, and vegetable broth and turn that son of a bitch to a gentle simmer.
  • Once the pot is gently simmering, add the mango and the tofu.
  • Reduce the heat to low and let this all cook together until the mango is tender enough to fall apart, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, add the lime juice, and then dish up.
  • Serve over brown rice.
  • Enjoy! My family sure did
