Fig It!

Serves 4
Olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. coriander
1 cinnamon stick
Pinch of cayenne
1 15-0unce can diced tomatoes, drained
4 medium red-skinned potatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 large sweet potato, cut into ½-inch pieces
½ a head green cabbage, cored, cut in half lengthwise, and thinly sliced
1 15-ounce can “lite” coconut milk
1 cup frozen peas
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle in just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan, then add the onions and a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another two minutes. Add the spices and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

Stir in the tomatoes, followed by the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage. Allow to cook for several minutes, then pour in the coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the curry simmers, then cover the pan. Cook about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the peas and cook for another few minutes, or until the peas are hot throughout. Remove the cinnamnon stick and serve with basmati rice.
