Kitchen-Sink Curry
In the spirit of utilizing leftovers and embracing what's available in your kitchen, we present to you a delicious and versatile leftover curry recipe. This recipe is designed to use up those odds and ends in your fridge and pantry, resulting in a flavorful and satisfying dish. Today, we'll be creating a Leftovers Curry with yellow curry powder, featuring olive oil, white onion, broccoli, bell peppers, zucchinis, garlic, coconut milk, and some pantry staples.
Ingredients:
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 white onion, diced
1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color you have)
1 yellow zucchini, sliced
1 green zucchini, sliced
3 tbsp yellow curry powder
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 can coconut milk
Red pepper flakes (to taste)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
Gather all your leftover vegetables. Don't worry if they're not in perfect condition; we're going to transform them into a delightful curry.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the diced white onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and yellow curry powder. Allow them to cook for another minute or so, until the spices become aromatic.
Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, yellow zucchini, and green zucchini to the pan. Mix everything well to coat the vegetables with the flavorful curry mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the curry simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. If it becomes too thick, you can add a little water to reach your desired consistency.
Season the curry with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Start with a small amount of red pepper flakes, and then add more if you prefer a spicier curry.
Serve it over cooked rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.
