Vegan Nut Curry _ Re mastered

It has been a year since I last posted this recipe and it is still as fantastic!!

 

Another fantastic source of meat free protein, perfect for those meat free Mondays! This is also a great dish to serve up if you have vegan or vegetarians to entertain or just want a break from the meat madness.  Soaking the nuts first will help get rid of any bitter tannins and mean they won’t take as long to cook. Such  a fun way to have your nutty goodness instead of as a snack, you can make an meal of them.

The recipe calls for Jamaican curry powder, I have linked the following three *brands (BetaPac, Mr.Browns, Chief) I use frequently – out of the three I do prefer the Betapac it has a finer texture to it, but I use all three in rotation and feel they are all great in their own right.

*I am not affiliated with these brands, they are just ones I have used for many years.



THE LOWDOWN:

Nuts are a great source of healthy fats (monounsaturated oleic acids, palmitoleic and omega-3 alpha linolenic acid), which are said to help protect against heart disease by lowering cholesterol. They also contain minerals essential for bone, skin, and tissue health including (magnesium, zinc, potassium, calcium, and vitamin E).
