The zucchini yield is high, daytime temperatures hover around 90 degrees. Summer is on.
Cooking goals: simplicity of prep, use as much zucchini as possible, don’t heat up the house. The zucchini and other veggies were roasted for this quick bite. Grilled veggies would have been great too, but we are between grills at the moment. (What??) Zoodles are on the menu frequently as well.
This ultra-fast coconut curry sauce will amaze. Our friend who doesn’t even like curry deemed this sauce tasty, it’s that good! Pour over roasted, sauteed, or grilled vegetables, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, rice, quinoa, beans, lentils, other proteins.
If making rice, start that first, then roast the vegetables, then prepare the sauce while vegetables are roasting.

2 tsp curry powder
Squeeze of fresh lime juice
Garnish with toasted coconut, and Sriracha, if desired.
Combine Sauce Mix powder, water, 2/3 cup coconut milk, coconut sugar and curry powder in saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring as needed so it doesn’t stick to the pan.
