Vegetables in Red Curry and Coconut Milk

These Vegetables in Red Curry and Coconut Milk was a rich, colorful stew mix of potatoes, carrots, snap peas, peppers, napa cabbage and parsley simmered in a slurry of red curry and coconut milk. The sweet spicy aromas were all from a heartwarming dish my younger son made for me when he visited home. What a wonderful Mother’s Day meal it was!

My  son, Toby is an expert with vegetables and curry. He can make a mean and memorable dish with the simplest ingredients around. “Do we have coconut milk?” he asked me as he sifted through my pantry. I knew instantly he was going to make a curry dish.

“I’ll use red curry powder this time,” Toby added.

The process was so simple. All that was needed were the fresh vegetables, the coconut milk and a good stash of curry. Toby got chopping and slicing and in no time this vegetable dish in red curry was just waiting to be devoured! The aroma of sweet curry and coconut permeated the kitchen and with that, we all sat down to a wonderful family dish cooked by my second son just for me. Am I a lucky Mom or what?
