Curried #ButternutSquash and #Cauliflower Stew

Prep-time: 25 MINUTES / Ready In: 45 MINUTES
Makes 8 cups stew + 4 cups rice

"Whip up this colorful curry stew when squash season is in full swing. Cubes of sweet butternut squash get mouthwateringly tender as everything simmers on the stove and cauliflower rice absorbs the fragrant flavors of the Indian-inspired broth. Green bell peppers, carrots, and spinach add extra veggie goodness, while cilantro and fresh lime juice, added just before serving, brighten things up. Ladle a hearty portion over a bed of brown rice and enjoy a comforting meal that warms you up from the inside out.

Tip: To avoid going overboard on saturated fat, make sure to use refrigerated coconut milk beverage and not canned coconut milk for this recipe.


Ingredients

1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
½ cup chopped carrot
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
4 teaspoons curry powder
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk beverage
1¼ lb. butternut squash, cubed
1 10- to 12-oz. package fresh cauliflower rice
1 5- to 6-oz. package baby spinach
2 tablespoons lime juice
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cups hot cooked brown basmati rice
Lime wedges, sliced jalapeño peppers, and/or fresh cilantro (optional)


Instructions

In a 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven cook onion, bell pepper, carrot, and garlic over medium 4 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding broth, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add curry powder; cook and stir 30 seconds. Add the remaining broth, the coconut milk, squash, and cauliflower rice. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until squash is very tender.
Transfer 2 cups of the stew to a small blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth; return to pan. Stir spinach into stew; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until spinach is wilted and tender. Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and black pepper.
Serve stew over basmati rice. If desired, serve with lime wedges, jalapeño peppers, and/or cilantro."

I saw another film recently, and while it is not #vegan by name, it all but confirms it throughout the movie.

The movie was #TheGamechangers (available on Netflix), and it feels like an updated version of #ForksOverKnives (in fact there are a few 'cameos' of some of the people from the original film). I believe it was very well done stylistically, and I found the animations when discussing the science quite nice. Also, the appearance of #ArnoldSchwarzenegger was, I feel, a great boost to the movement. In fact, I found the executive team consisted of quite a line up, in addition to Arnold the executive producers included:

-#JackieChan
-#JamesCameron
-#LewisHamilton
-#NovakDjokovic
-#ChrisPaul

(There's debates on their dedication to the #veganism movement, as I am sure some will point out.)

Not sure how I feel about the section on the erection talk but it seems like the film was targeting a male based audience at that point!

The conclusion was quite clear though, a #PlantBasedDiet, doesn't hinder an athlete, and you can get tasty food out of a vegan diet.

It is rated well on #imdb and is rated 'fresh' on #RottenTomatoes.
