Curry in a Hurry

Add some healing spice and coziness to your life! I’ve adapted this immune-boosting recipe so that even if you don’t have all the fresh ingredients, you can use frozen and pantry items instead. This dish comes together in 30 minutes or less and can be served on its own or with your favorite rice.
INGREDIENTS
Serves 6 to 8

2 tablespoons coconut oil
-
1 medium onion, chopped

2 large carrots, sliced

-
pinch of cayenne
-
1 to 2 tablespoons curry paste
-
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes

Stir in the ginger and turmeric and sauté for 1 minute. Next, add the cayenne and curry paste and mix until well-combined.
