South African Vegetable Apricot Curry

South African Vegetable Apricot Curry is so good that we served it to dinner guests at last Saturday’s Christmas gathering in our home. It is one of our favorite meals that Marilyn makes several times from fall to early spring. As always, she makes a double batch that we eat for several days. Anything leftover gets put into individual containers and into the freezer for future lunches. South African Vegetable Apricot Curry is just one of the thousands of delicious plant based recipes that you can find in the Slender For Life™ Recipe library.

South African Vegetable Apricot Curry

This is so good!

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. ginger, minced
8 cloves garlic, minced
3 tsp. Monsoon Coast Durban Curry (or more for hotter)
2 tsp. turmeric
1 green (or tart/sweet) apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 – 3/4 cup dried apricots, chopped and rehydrated (3 hours)
1 sweet red pepper, chopped
3/4 lb. green beans, trimmed
1/2 lb. carrots, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 lb. cauliflower, in small florets
1 medium yam, peeled in 1/2 inch cubes
3 cups red cabbage, shredded
1 1/2 cups veggie stock or water + bouillon cube
salt to taste

Method:
Saute the onions in the oil until translucent, then add ginger, garlic, apple, red pepper, Durban Curry and turmeric. Stirring regularly, add a 1/4 cup of the stock, followed by the carrots and yam. As the vegetables start to soften over the next ten minutes or so, add enough stock to keep things slightly liquid and then add the apricots, the cauliflower, beans and cabbage. Add more stock as the apple and onions cook down and thicken the sauce.

Add salt and more Durban Curry to taste. When the carrots, cauliflower etc are soft, stir together, remove from heat and let rest to merge the flavours. There should be enough sauce to surround and coat the other ingredients.

If you want to serve Bunny Chow, cut the top off a round loaf of crusty, white bread, hollow it out and pour in the curry. Rip off pieces of the crust to scoop up the sauce or alternately, just serve with slices of crusty bread.

Makes enough for 6 to feast.

Marilyn and I discovered Monsoon Coast Curry on Salt Spring Island, BC and have been purchasing it for several years now. The great news is that they now ship to the States – check out Monsoon Coast World Spices.
