Cleaning-out-the-Fridge Vegetable Curry!

Greetings! I hope you are doing well on this November day!
















This morning, I was on a mission to clean out the fridge, and also wanted to make something that was easy, simple, warming, and (of course) delicious.

Any combination of vegetables can be used. (Save $ by using what you already have!)

Cleaning-out-the-Fridge Vegetable Curry

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups green beans
  • 2 cups sliced carrots
  • 1 cup chickpeas
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 16 ounces vegetable broth
  • 1 14-oz can coconut milk
  • 3 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • brown rice (optional... to serve over)

Directions:
In a slow cooker, combine green beans, carrots, chickpeas, and onion. Stir in broth, coconut milk, curry powder, and basil.

*note: I used light coconut milk.
