Sweet, spicy, and substantial; this adored curry beats takeout any night of the week! Serve it over a plate full of Red Chard, Beat Greens, Kale, or Spinach. Make a side of Brown Rice, Kidney Beans, or whole Sorghum grain. However you serve this, it will be an instant favorite. Dr John

Ingredients
  • ¼ Cup +/- of water for sautéing onion (may use juice from can of Pineapple)
  • 1 medium white or yellow Onion- finely chopped.
  • 4 Cloves Garlic minced.
  • 1 Tbsp fresh Ginger grated (or 2 tsp powdered Ginger)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh Turmeric grated (or 2 tsp ground Turmeric)
  • ½ tsp of fresh ground black Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Thai red Curry Paste
  • 16 ounces Russet (white) Potatoes large cubed- leave some or all of the skin on the potatoes.
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper diced.
  • 2 Carrots- diced.
  • 1 13-ounce can light Coconut Milk (or use half regular Coconut Milk and half lower fat Soy Milk)
  • 2 cups diced Pineapple (fresh, or 1 20 oz can diced Pinaple). Use half the juice if canned.
  • 2 tsp, more or less Hot Pepper Sauce- Optional
  • 1 Tbsp low- sodium soy sauce or low- sodium tamari
  • 2/3 cup raw Peanuts (or mixed raw tree nuts) – Oil- Free roasted (see below)
  • Optional: fresh Cilantro garnish when serving
Directions
  1. Heat ¼ cup water, or left-over pineapple juice in a large pot
  2. Add diced onion and garlic. Sauté these until they soften a little or about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the ginger, turmeric, red curry paste and pepper; and cook all together for 1.5 minutes or so. Add a little more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
  4. Mix in the potatoes, bell peppers, and carrots; and cook, stirring often, until the veggies are nicely coated with the aromatic mixture and heated, about 3-4 minutes. Add 2 more Tbsp of water if necessary.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk, diced pineapple, soy sauce and optional hot pepper sauce.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally for about 20 to 25 minutes. Please be certain potatoes and carrots are fork-tender, around.
  7. Turn off the heat and stir in the roasted peanuts.
  8. Taste to adjust seasoning.
  9. Put in bowls over large amount of greens or on plates with a side of beans (Kidney, Pinto, Lima, or Chickpeas) or whole grain (like Quinoa, Sorghum, or Brown Rice)
  10. Garnish plates with cilantro, if using, and serve.
Chef’s Notes

Roasting Raw Nuts- Oil Free

Place peanuts on a parchment covered baking sheet or to an unlined air- fry basket. Broil or air-fry for about 2 to 3 minutes. Roll nuts a little with a wooden spoon or gloved hand. Broil for another 2 to 3 minutes. Stop when nuts just start to brown. Careful not to burn the peanuts. Dr J

Gluten-Free

Substitute low sodium Tamari for the Soy Sauce.

Soy-Free

Substitute Coconut Aminos for Soy Sauce.

Less Fat

Substitute plant-based milk (such as almond or soy milk) for coconut milk.

Nut-Free

Substitute oil-free roasted Sunflower seeds or Sesame seeds for the Peanuts.
