Hello lovelies, I have a quick and healthy recipe for you today: quick curry with green vegetables. You can use the vegetables you have available at home, so be flexible. Of course that’s important now. We currently eat a lot of green vegetables, lettuce and fruits to strengthen our immune system and stay healthy.

You only need a few ingredients for the curry, coconut milk and a curry paste - I used the yellow one. Also a side dish like rice, quinoa or whatever else you like to eat with your curry. And obviously vegetables, I had zucchini, broccoli, beans, some Brussels sprouts and fresh spinach.

A quick and healthy dish full of vegetables, that the whole family will like.

  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 hand full of green beans
  • 1/2 head broccoli
  • 1 small zucchini
  • 100 gr (3.5 oz.)  Brussels sprouts
  • 70 gr (2.5 oz.)  yellow curry paste ( alternatively: red or green)
  • 600 ml (2.5 cups) coconut milk
  • 2 tsp vegan fish sauce
  • 1 hand full fresh spinach
  • Salt to season
  • Side dish of your choice e.g. rice, quinoa, millet
  • Pomegranate, fresh cilantro, sesame as a topping

Wash the vegetables and cut them in bite-sized pieces

Finely chop the onions and fry them in sesame oil until transparent

Add all vegetables but the spinach and sauté for 3-5 minutes

Stir in the curry paste and deglaze with coconut milk

Let simmer with closed lid for approx. 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are soft

Season with salt

Stir in the spinach - spread everything on plates and serve with the side dish of your choice

Perfect for a topping is fresh cilantro, sesame and pomegranate seeds

The curry is packed with healthy vegetables and you can really use your favorites here, or use up what has to go. This is what I like about these simple recipes, I think it’s especially important these days to use up what you have at home to avoid unnecessary shopping. I will pay more attention to this in the next recipes.

We had black rice as a side dish, but you can of course also serve another rice, quinoa, couscous or bulgur – what matters here too is to take what your pantry has to offer. Salted nuts such as peanuts as a topping would also be very tasty.

I hope you will try this quick curry with green vegetables soon – it is one of our favorite weeknight dinners. If you love curry as much as we do, take a look at my pumpkin curry with chickpeas and mie noodles and the cozy cauliflower-lentil curry with dates. For an extra-comforting meal, it is wonderful with homemade sweet potato curry with chili naan, which we also love very much.

Bye for now!

TIPS

Verena's notes

Tip from my kitchen: this curry is my lifesaver on busy weeknights – it is on the table in around 30 minutes. Feel free to use whatever green vegetables you have on hand; peas, chard or pak choi work just as well. If you like it spicier, stir in a little more curry paste or a fresh chili. We love to serve it with black rice, but basmati, quinoa or bulgur are lovely too.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

  • Green vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, green beans, Brussels sprouts and spinach are ideal. You can stay flexible and use whatever is in the fridge, too. Peas, chard or pak choi work beautifully in this curry as well.

  • I like to use yellow curry paste because it is mild and creamy. Red or green paste works just as well. Just check that it is vegan, since some pastes contain fish sauce or shrimp paste.

  • From prep to serving you need about 30 minutes: roughly 15 minutes to chop the vegetables and 10–15 minutes of simmering. That makes it a perfect weeknight dinner.

  • Yes, the curry tastes even more flavorful reheated. Stored in a sealed container it keeps for 2–3 days in the fridge. I cook the rice fresh, but the curry is great to make ahead for meal prep.

  • Rice is the classic choice. We love it with black rice, but basmati, quinoa, couscous or bulgur are all great too. For toppings, fresh cilantro, sesame and pomegranate seeds are especially good.
