1 onion

1 cup vegetables of choice, such as green beans, snow peas, chopped broccoli, or diced sweet potato
1 can coconut milk (13.5oz)

To make coconut curry on the stovetop, combine all ingredients in a pot or skillet. If desired, you can brown the onion in a little oil first. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the coconut sauce has thickened and the carrots are tender. Add water or milk of choice to thin down sauce as needed.
For a crock pot coconut curry recipe, combine all ingredients in a slow cooker or crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or until vegetables are soft.
