in #food7 years ago

You can get this curry on the table in just about 30 minutes or less. It is made with lots of veggies and herbs for a nutritious and soothing meal. Being larger and softer than most other beans, butter beans, also known as lima beans, add such a great texture and flavor.

If you want to add some more color to this dish, serve with small green salad on the side or add fresh spinach, bok choy or kale during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Ingredients (serves 3)

For the paste

1/2 cup sweet pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
1 small tomato
1 red onion
4 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp olive oil

For the curry

1 cup bell pepper, chopped
2 cups eggplant, chopped
1 cup zucchini, chopped
1.5 cup cooked butter beans
2.5 cups tomatoes, chopped
1.5 cup bean sprouts
1 tbsp peanut butter
1/2 -1 cup chopped parsley (cilantro works too)
