Ingredients You Need for Sesame Brussels Sprout Curry [Vegan]

- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red or yukon gold potato, diced (or 1 small sweet potato, diced)
- 1/2 lb of brussels sprouts, bottoms cut off and sliced in half
- 1 can of coconut milk, full fat
- 2 Tbsp tahini (or nut butter of choice)
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar, or other vinegar
- 1 Tbsp agave, or sweetener of choice
- 1 Tbsp tamari or coconut aminos (soy sauce substitute)
- 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste

How to Prepare Sesame Brussels Sprout Curry [Vegan]
- In a skillet, saute onion, garlic, ginger, and chili pepper in a tsp of sesame oil, or if omitting oil use a non-stick skillet. Cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes until softening and fragrant.
- Add potato and brussels sprouts and toss well to coat. Add coconut milk through black pepper and stir well. Bring to a gentle simmer and cover pan, cooking 5-10 minutes over medium low heat until potato and sprouts are cooked through and tender.
- Toast sesame seeds or nuts over low heat until turning golden. Remove from heat and grind in mortar and pestle if you have one, or a quick whir in a coffee grinder works too. If you want to skip this step, that's fine, but grinding them lightly really enhances the flavor.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, top with cilantro if using, and sesame or nuts. Serve over rice, noodles, or quinoa.
