First Line Therapy Servings:
1 Serving = 1/2 cup (1/12 of recipe)
1 Legume, 1/2 Nut & Seeds (0.5), 1/2 Oil (0.5)
Makes: 12 servings
Prep: 15 mins; Cook: 5 mins
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground tumeric
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or Earth Balance Spread (modified for First Line Therapy- original recipe called for vegetable oil)
- 3 10 ounce packages thawed frozen peas
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix together the coconut, garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne, turmeric, 1 tsp. salt and 2 tbsp. water.
- In a wok or large skillet with a lid, heat the oil over high heat. Add the mustard seeds and cover immediately (the seeds will begin to pop). When the popping slows down, uncover, add the peas and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in the coconut mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peas are just tender and still bright green, about 3 minutes.
