Servings: 2
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American, Thai

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large sweet potato diced fairly small
  • coconut oil
  • 1 small yellow onion roughly chopped
  • 2 large garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 inch ginger chopped
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • small dash of cayenne
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk shake can well, then measure
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • pinch of salt for liquid mixture and more to top when serving
  • 1 cup frozen peas or a mix of peas and green beans
  • fresh mint & basil more mint leaves to basil (size of leaves vary - see picture as to what I used), finely chopped
  • choice of rice to serve

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 to bake your cubed sweet potatoes. Once preheated, toss the diced sweet potatoes in a bowl with a little coconut oil. Bake for 40-50 minutes until done - flipping around half way. You can always steam the potatoes on the stovetop too if you prefer.
  2. Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in a little water or coconut oil once the sweet potatoes go in the oven.  Once the onion is translucent, stir in the the curry powder and dash of cayenne. Add the coconut milk, maple syrup, and small pinch of salt.  Simmer on low while the sweet potatoes cook.  Meanwhile cook your rice according to the package. Cook the frozen peas on the stovetop right before serving. I add frozen peas and water at the same time and boil for around 5 minutes; drain the excess water.
  3. Assembly Time - I use around 3/4 cup of rice per serving and divide everything else in two - rice, potato, peas, pour over half the sauce. Sprinkle on salt to taste. Top with chopped mint and basil. Give it a good stir and enjoy!
