This vegan Organic Butternut & Cabbage  Curry makes a comforting winter meal.

The vegetables are cooked in a mild and silky fragrant coconut sauce. You can replace the cabbage with shredded kale if you wish.

I created this recipe as part of my #OrganicUnboxed challenge using organic vegetables from Abel & Cole and organic coconut oil / organic coconut milk /  organic chickpeas and organic brown rice from Biona.

I love serving this curry with a side of organic brown rice and a nice organic wine such as the delicious Rioja from Vinceremos below.

    Had some cabbage and butternut and thought maybe there are some combo recipes online. Found this one and made it today. The only difference I did was to add blended chickpeas rather than full pieces but that’s because don’t really like the texture of whole chickpeas in food. Delicious and generous pot of food. Would say will be enough for my family of 4 for at least two days so might freeze half of it.
