I love quick meals.
Last week I wanted to have flavorful steamed veggies over quinoa for dinner. I remembered that I had some leftover “broth” from one of the raw dishes I enjoyed on the cleanse.
I sautéed a little olive oil, onion and garlic in a large skillet for a couple of minutes. I added sliced fennel and sautéed for two minutes. I added a handful of snow peas and 3 leaves of kale (torn from the stem) and poured about 1/4 cup of coconut broth* over the vegetables, covered and simmered for 5 – 8 minutes (until the broth cooked down). I served it over reheated quinoa.
Delicious!
*Coconut Broth (from Udon Noodle Soup ~ Raw Chef Roxanne Klein)
* 1 ¼ c coconut water (I bought a young coconut and used fresh coconut water)
* ½ T tamari
* ¼ t toasted sesame oil
* Garlic and ginger to taste
* 1 pinch sea salt
* 1 T green onion, minced
In a blender, blend all ingredients until liquefied. (Hold back foam when pouring over vegetables.)

This sounds like such a great dish! Love the coconut broth in there!
The coconut broth was so good. When I made it, it was cold/raw broth for julienned veggies (carrots and cabbage) It was delicious!
