Senegalese Vegetables

We traveled to Galveston, Tx late may with our oldest son and his family. Was a delightful trip watching our grandsons play in the waves of the gulf and finding new out of the way places to eat. One restaurant we found served a plant strong dish called "Senagalese" . We loved it!  So after a lot of research and testing this is the recipe we settled on.

Senegalese Vegetables

This recipe has a West African influence and is sometimes spicy hot, but we enjoyed this milder version on our visit to Galveston.

2 cups coconut milk

4  Tbsp  smooth peanut butter

1 tsp red curry powder

1/2 tsp kosher salt to taste

1/4 cup crushed peanuts

Steamed brown rice

Steam your favorite veggies.  We  used broccoli, carrots, yellow squash, zucchini , sweet red pepper and green onion.

While your veggies are steaming, mix coconut milk, peanut butter, curry powder and salt in a small saucepan. Whisk together over a medium heat just until  and peanut butter is blended and sauce begins to simmer.  It should be a thin soup. Adjust seasoning to your preference. Add more curry or red pepper if you like more spice.

Place a mound of rice in each individual shallow bowl. Surround with  steamed veggies. Ladle coconut soup over rice and veggies. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts. Enjoy!
