OK, here is a great meal that is easy to cook, tastes great, and is very healthy.  This is my Quinoa Curry.  I make it with chicken, but it tastes just as good without for all you vegetarians out there!  The quinoa provides plenty of protein, so again the chicken is optional.

Here is what you need:
1.  Bag of quinoa
2.  13 ounces of unsweetened coconut milk.  Comes in a can, use the whole can.
3.  One spoon of Thai Green Curry Paste.  It's spicy, so start small and add to taste.
4.  One medium butternut squash
5.  4 ounces of blanched almonds, "whole"
6.  One can of canned peas.
7.  Two chicken breasts, cut up into pieces.

OK, start by boiling some water with the quinoa, and begin peeling the butternut squash.  After you peel the squash, cut it into small pieces and steam them.

Now get your biggest frying pan out and start cooking the chicken.  You can add a little olive oil if needed, however the browning of the chicken is a good thing.

After the chicken is cooked, you want to add the almonds in the same pan with the chicken.  Eventually, the almonds will get a nice toasty brown and the browning will start to caramelize the dish a bit, yummy!

At this point the butternut squash will be done, so toss that into the pan as well.  If the squash is a little bit al dente, don't worry about it.  Just throw it in; you still have plenty of cooking time left.

Next, stir in the coconut milk and make sure the heat is on low.  Then add the green curry paste, the peas, and stir it all together.  Let it simmer for about ten minutes.  While simmering, put the quinoa in a separate bowl.

That is it, you’re ready to eat!  Serve the quinoa, add the curry on top, and enjoy!

When making this dish, obviously try to buy organic when possible.  The whole dish should take about 40 minutes to cook and it serves up to four people.

The almonds and coconut milk make this meal rich and high in good fat.  This means it is not low in calories; however the coconut milk and quinoa are very cleansing.  The meal as a whole is very satisfying and healthy.  If you want to salt to taste, just use Celtic Sea Salt.  Also, you can buy low fat coconut milk.  But I say stick to full cream; it's very good for you and healing.

Enjoy!!

All the Best in Health!
