Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz fresh hearty mushrooms like crimini left whole or cut into large pieces
  • 2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. curry powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. garam masala
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 1 clove shallot chopped
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 1 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger or dried ginger
  • 3 medium carrots cut into 1/2" - 1" pieces
  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp. cashew butter
  • 1 limes juiced (more for desired taste)
  • 3 cups fresh kale de-stemmed and chopped (feel free to substitute spinach or other greens)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the coconut oil in a large sauce pan and sauté the mushroom until they are brown and tender. Remove the mushrooms onto a paper towel using a slotted spoon.
  • At low to medium heat, add all the spices, garlic, and shallots to the oil and cook for a minute until they start to become aromatic.
  • Add the onions, red pepper, carrots, and ginger, and cook, stirring, until everything starts to cook and is well coated with the seasonings.
  • Add the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then lower to a rolling simmer. Simmer mixture until the carrots become very soft, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Using and emersion blender, or a conventional blender, puree the mixture until it is smooth. If you use a conventional blender you will need to do it in safe batches and be careful when turning on the blender as the hot liquid will cause combustion. Start at low speed.
  • Return the pureed mixture to the stove, bring back up to a rolling simmer, and add the mushrooms, cashew butter, coconut milk, and lime juice. Simmer for another 10 minutes until it becomes a silky, well blended sauce.
  • Add the kale or greens and mix just until the greens are wilted. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve with aromatic rice or for a complete protein profile, serve with some cooked quinoa.
