Raw vegetables, close up

Have you ever seen purple broccoli or yellow cauliflower? Eye catching, aren’t they?

A rainbow of vegetables! I’m thinking of all the phytonutrients here!

They’re so pretty by themselves in a platter and you could eat them with a dip, or….

I like them roasted– tossed with a little olive oil and put in a 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes.

Curry powder, coconut milk, low sodium bouillon, ginger

While the veggies are roasting, whip up a quick curry sauce.

Just whisk curry powder, a low sodium vegetable bouillon cube, grated ginger root, and a touch of sea salt into a can of coconut milk. Cook over medium high heat and let it evaporate until it is two thirds to one half of it’s original volume.

That will give you a nice thickened curry sauce to pour over a bowlful of yummy veggies.

Now why do I always see things when I look at vegetables?

These florets look like they’re relaxing in a hot tub of coconut curry sauce– each head gently nestled in a curve…

If it were me though, as tasty as this curry sauce is, I think I’d like to relax in a tub of warm haupia sauce instead!
