Ingredients & Substitutions:

The best part about this recipe, is you can swap and use any veggies you like best, or if you want to clear out the fridge just put any veggies you have. Customize it to your liking! Here are the veggies I put:

Broccoli- The broccoli is a great addition to this recipe, but again you can leave it out or replace with another veggie.

Cauliflower- Same with the cauliflower, you can leave out or replace with another veggie.

Sweet Potato- You need some sort of sweeter orange veggie, if you don’t have sweet potato it can be replaced with pumpkin or butternut squash.

Zucchini- Zucchini has a very mild flavor to it, it is so soft that it practically melts into the dish, making it a great veggie for kids.

Chickpeas- The chickpeas provide a plant-based protein, you can substitute with a white bean if preferred.

Onion & garlic- I don’t recommend replacing these ingredients.

Coconut milk- The coconut milk adds the best flavor and creaminess to the dish, I don’t recommend replacing it with anything.

Tomato Paste- This adds a tomato flavor to the dish, I don’t recommend replacing it.

Water or broth- This recipe calls for 2 cups of water or broth for the sauce, both will work. You can choose between vegetable broth or chicken broth.

Olive oil for cooking- you can swap for avocado oil or another neutral oil.

Here are some veggies you can add or replace to the dish:

Peas, green beans, carrots, butternut squash, potatoes and spinach.

What you need:

One medium-sized pot
