Recipe for Spinach & Coconut Fans

Coconut Infused Vegan Spinach Curry

My vegan interpretation of this Thai curry is perfect for those who love coconut and exotic flavours. It's not spicy but spinach and coconut combination creates the unusual and interesting taste.

It is fun to make as well and it works amazingly for a family meal or a dinner party. Enjoy!

Only couple days are left till summer, so I thought I have my last chance to share not so "summery" recipe. 

You will need:

🌿 200g of Creamed Coconut
🌿 900g of Frozen Spinach
🌿 200g of Mushrooms
🌿 150ml of Coconut Milk
🌿 some Chillies
🌿 some Salt + Pepper
🌿 some Coriander
🌿 handful of ​Cashew Nuts
🌿 200g of Long Grain Rice
🌿 1 tea spoon of Olive Oil

The Recipe

Another fun and exiting recipe that is suitable not only for vegans (approved by flatmates). It doesn't take a long time to make it either, so have a look, try and enjoy!

First of all, boil a kettle and turn the hob on a full heat. 

Pour coconut milk in a large pot, then add in about 300ml of boiling hot water. Add in creamed coconut and stir everything well. You need to make sure that creamed coconut is fully dissolved and then you can add frozen spinach and couple chillies. Cover the pot, and meanwhile chop mushrooms. I just halved them for this curry, and I suggest you using chunky mushroom bits as well. 

Now prepare rice for the curry. I don't know how you are making rice, but the way I make them is probably bit different. Boil the kettle once more. Place a pot on a hob (medium heat) and pour about 1 cup of rice in it. Then add in olive oil and salt and mix well. Pour over with hot water (about 2 cups), stir and cover the pot. Turn the heat off and JUST leave it for 12 minutes. Crack some pepper and coriander after rice is done.

Check your curry -- stir few times and see if it's not too watery. If it is, just take away some liquid. Sprinkle the curry with cashew nuts, pepper and coriander and leave to sit for 15 more minutes.

When the curry is done, check the temperature of rice. Depending on the pot, they might be a bit too cool, then place some rice in a bowl and put in a microwave for 1.5 minutes. Pour rice over with some curry and enjoy! Perfect for Sunday family dinners, and as I said before -- you don't need to be vegan to enjoy this one.

P.S. Also perfect for the next day's office lunch
