When I want something comforting, savory, and just a little spicy, I usually go with some form of
curry. The robust flavor of a curry sauce acts as the perfect base for virtually any protein or vegetable. In this recipe, a variety of vegetables takes center stage alongside a creamy Thai-style curry. I promise you won’t even miss the meat.
