Creamy Vegetable Medley

To vegetable lovers out there, I would like to share this simple vegetable recipe, inspired by a friend who used to be our neighbor in our local village. I was invited to the christening of their son and I was chosen as one of their son's Godparents. Afterward, they invited us to celebrate the christening at their place and foods have already been served. I was in the mood to eat some vegetables and the food (picture above) caught my attention. It got me thinking that the vegetables were cooked with the basics, mostly stir-fried and simmered with coconut milk. The taste was good and I have never cooked something like this before so I experimented how it is done.

Ingredients:

1 cup cauliflower flowerettes

1 cup diced carrots

1 cup chopped young corns

1 cup diced jicama (turnip)

1/2 cup frozen green peas

1 tbsp sliced red bell pepper

2 cups thin coconut milk

1 tsp minced garlic

1 small red onion, chopped

Procedures:

1. Saute garlic and onion. 

2. Stir-fry carrots, cauliflower, jicama and young corn.

3. Add a dash of salt and pepper. Stir continuously until vegetables become tender.

4. Add coconut milk. Let it cook for 3 minutes.

5. Add green peas and red bell pepper. Stir occasionally until the green peas soften and the bell pepper creates aroma.

6. Serve with plain rice.
