This is a great, healthy weeknight meal that can be thrown together pretty quickly. If you have limited time buy pre-cut mushrooms, carrots, cabbage and broccoli for less prep and cleanup. I like to use veggie or chicken stock as the cooking liquid in the rice for a little more flavor. This is one of those dishes that is endlessly riffable (I know that’s not a real word, but aca-scuse me). Hate mushrooms? Change them up for diced zucchini. For a little protein add chicken, use shredded rotisserie if you’re short on time. Curry is a go to at our house because it is one of those dishes that is excellent re-heated for an easy work lunch the next day. Enjoy!

- Pour 1/3 cup of the chicken stock in the pan and allow to simmer 2-3 min while liquid reduces and veggies steam in the stock.
- Remove the carrot and broccoli mix with a slotted spoon, leaving the liquid in the bottom of the pan and set carrots and broccoli aside with the mushrooms and onions.

Notes
Tip: Serve this over sautéed riced cauliflower or zoodles for a low carb option.
Tip: You can substitute any of the veggies out for your preferred veggies or whatever you have on hand. Sliced bell peppers, diced sweet potatoes, zucchini, broccolini, etc. all are great in this recipe!
Katy’s life hack: If you’re short on time fill up on all your pre-cut veggies at the salad bar in your preferred grocery store. This will save you all the prep time and this dish will come together in a flash!
