This pumpkin and coconut curry recipe comes from a Wild Man in our community, and it is truly EPIC. Full of flavour, packed with nutrition and even better the next day, it’s the perfect Sunday arvo meal prep recipe. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- Half a pumpkin or sweet potato (whatever type you prefer)
- 2 onions, diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 knob grated ginger
- 1 knob grated turmeric
- Bunch of coriander
- Soy sauce
- 2 cups of stock (any sort will work)
- 2 cans beans (butter, kidney, cannelini… whatever you’ve got)
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can tomato puree
- Paprika (about 1 tsp)
- Curry powder (about 1 tsp)
- Cumin (about 1 tsp)
- Cayenne pepper (about 1 tsp)
- 1 can coconut cream
- Olive oil
- Greek yoghurt (with probiotics)
- Brown rice
Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees.
2. Chop the pumpkin into cubes, drizzle with olive oil and put into the oven to roast.
3. In a large pot, add onion, garlic (crushed or chopped), ginger, turmeric and coriander stalks (finely chopped) to some olive oil to soften.
4. Add spices and stir until aromatic.
5. Add soy sauce (about 1/4 cup) and stock, then beans (drained) and stir.
6. Add tomatoes and tomato paste and let it all simmer around for a while.
7. When the pumpkin is cooked and the curry is bubbling away, remove the pumpkin from the oven and add it to the pot and mush it all together.
8. Add a can of coconut cream and coriander leaves and stir through. (If it’s not salty enough, add more soy here!)
Serve your pumpkin and coconut curry with brown rice and greek yoghurt.
This curry is also an absolute hiking essential. Pour it (with the rice mixed straight in) into a wide mouth thermos before you head off, and by the time you’re a few hours into the trail, it’ll be steaming hot and ready to go. There’s nothing quite like cracking open a thermos of this on a cold ridge with your mates – it warms you from the inside and gives you the fuel to push through the rest of your hike. Make a big batch and you’ve gor your next few winter adventures sorted.
