Ingredients
- 2 red onions (or white onions)
- 3–4 carrots (ca 200 g)
- 1/4 pointed white cabbage (or white cabbage, ca 150 g)
- 1/2 a head of broccoli (ca 150 g)
- A thumb size piece of fresh turmeric root (or 1 tsp of dried turmeric powder)
- 2 kaffir lime leaves
- salt to taste
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 150 g whole grain rice (cook according to the instructions on the package)
- 20 g Macadamia nuts
- 20 g Pecan nuts (optional)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp nigella sativa seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables, chop the red onions finely, slice the carrots and cabbage thinly, and wash the broccoli head and cut up the florets in nice bite size pieces.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium low heat, in a large pot (I usually use my wok). Once it’s fully melted, add in the red onions. Let them simmer until they start to be translucent, add a pinch of salt.
- Add the coconut milk. Peel and grate a thumb size piece of fresh turmeric (be aware, this will turn your hands yellow! if you can’t get fresh turmeric, use about 1 tsp of dried turmeric), and add 2 kaffir lime leaves. Bring it to a boil, and let the spices really infuse the coconut milk with color and flavor.
- Lower the heat and add in the cabbage and carrots, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes under a lid (if you don’t have a lid for your wok, just place a big lid on top of the veggie-coconut mix, that is what I do).
- After ten minutes, add in the broccoli florets, give it a good stir and let everything simmer for another 5-10 minutes. When the vegetables are tender, take of the lid and if you want the coconut sauce to be a bit thicker, just reduce it at higher heat, under stirring for 1-2 minutes.
- Chop the nuts finely and roast them together with the seeds on a dry pan, until the macadamia nuts start to take color. Remove the pan from the heat immediately and transfer the nut seed mix to a bowl.
- Serve with whole gran rice. Enjoy. (The nutrition facts are calculated based on 1 out of 3 servings)
