Coconut Curry with Cod | Gluten + Dairy-Free

Healthy Curry Recipe
Yes, there have been a lot of one-pot meals happening around here. I have always loved a one-pot meal but it’s not until the baby arrived that I truly appreciated the magic of prepping my veggies at the start of the week and then basically being able to throw everything in a pot to simmer for 20 minutes. One pot and two bowls to wash aaaaand we’re done here. This is my go-to simple coconut curry recipe – this time made with cod. Coconut Curry RecipeGuess what? This also isn’t any fancy food styling like the food bloggers are doing these days. I literally had to keep blowing on this while I was shooting it so the steam wouldn’t fog my lens. My lens – I say that I like I know what I’m doing. This was my actual dinner. I called it a day from my desk work at 5:30pm, then started, finished and photographed this meal by 6:10pm. And this bowl you see here? I basically devoured it by 6:22pm. Coconut Curry That is just one of the many, many, many things I love about a solid curry recipe. The other things? It is loaded with goodness. In this bowl I have carrots, peppers, onions, and garlic. I have my protein, in this case Icelandic Cod. The spices? My homemade garam masala and some extra turmeric for good measure. Lastly, just before serving, I stirred in some greens. Cilantro is probably a better fit for a garnish but since I had parsley washed and ready in the fridge, I used that. Coconut Curry A one-pot meal, by its very nature, is supposed to be easy and this one fits the bill. There’s no filler, and no fuss. Mix and match your veggies. Enjoy it as is in a bowl, or scoop over rice or noodles. Eat half and freeze the rest. It also packs easily to take to work for lunch.
