This easy vegan Thai inspired recipe for greens and beans curry is one the whole family will love! Simmered with savory spices, peanut butter, kale, and white beans, you’ll have this flavorful simple supper on the table in 30 minutes or less.
Peanut butter makes everything better. That’s why we love this simple dinner. There’s just something about the way all the flavors fuse together that makes this one a weeknight winner.
It’s also nutritious and cheap to make. Honestly, I think all the ingredients can be found at your local Aldi, except for maybe the little nob of fresh ginger.
(Side note: Meat eaters in the family might like this recipe for African-stylepeanut butter soup with chicken.)
You’ll want to make this again and again.
Really, it’s too good NOT to make. It’s all this and more:
- nutritious
- quick
- easy
- comfort food
- flavorful
It works whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, plant based, or on the Daniel Fast.
If you want to switch it up, you can add cooked tofu instead of beans.
Curry Without Curry Paste
Yes, it’s true. This recipe doesn’t call for curry paste or curry powder, but the flavors fuse together in such a way that you won’t miss it. With the chili powder, onions, and ginger, you get a slight spicy kick without needing to buy curry paste or powder.
