[Sincerely-Food-Chef]

Ingredients

• 1 cup basmati rice
• 16 fl oz chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 small bunch cilantro
• 2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 (1 inch) pieces ginger root
• 2 jalapeño peppers
• 1 bunch kale
• 1 lime
• ¼ cup peanuts, roasted unsalted
• 1 lb sweet potato
• 2 medium yellow onions
• curry powder
• natural peanut butter
• salt
• virgin coconut oil

Instructions

1. Using a strainer or colander, rinse the rice under cold, running water, then drain and transfer to a medium saucepan. Add water and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
   • 1 cup basmati rice
   • 2 cup water
2. Once the liquid comes to a boil, add salt, stir the mixture, cover the saucepan, and reduce heat to low. Cook rice until liquid is fully absorbed, 15-18 minutes. Once done, remove rice from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5 minutes.
   • ½ tsp salt
3. Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.
   • 2 (1 inch) pieces ginger root
   • 2 jalapeño peppers
   • 1 lb sweet potato
   • 1 bunch kale
   • 1 small bunch cilantro
   • 1 lime
4. Peel and mince garlic and ginger; transfer to a medium bowl.
   • 4 cloves garlic
5. Quarter jalapeño peppers lengthwise; seed and remove ribs with a spoon. Finely dice and add to the bowl with the garlic; set aside. (Be careful with jalapeños; do not touch your eyes and ensure you wash your hands after handling or wear gloves while preparing.)
6. Preheat a large pot over medium heat.
7. While the pot heats up, peel and small dice onions.
   • 2 medium yellow onions
8. Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
   • 4 tsp virgin coconut oil
9. Meanwhile, peel and medium dice sweet potatoes.
10. Add garlic, ginger, jalapeños, curry powder, and salt to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. (Reserve bowl for later.)
    • 2 tbsp curry powder
    • 1 tsp salt
11. Add broth, tomatoes, peanut butter, and sweet potato to the pot. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sweet potato begins to soften, about 10 minutes.
    • 16 fl oz (2 cups) chicken or vegetable broth
    • 2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes
    • ½ cup natural peanut butter
12. Meanwhile, fold kale leaves in half lengthwise and slice off the stems. Chop or tear leaves into bite-sized pieces, place in the reserved bowl, and set aside.
13. Coarsely chop peanuts. Shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Set both aside.
    • ¼ cup peanuts, roasted unsalted
14. Add kale to the simmering curry and stir to combine. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender, about 5 minutes.
15. While the curry finishes cooking, slice lime into wedges.
16. To serve, divide rice and curry between bowls; top with peanuts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy!
