Pumpkin Cashew Coconut Curry over Coconut Rice

Whew. That was a long title. But it pretty much sums up this recipe from paleomg.com. Like I said previously, I have been using pumpkin in everything lately. This dish was really flavorful. The combo of the pumpkin, curry, and coconut was epic! I ate this again for lunch the following day, and dinner the next night, too! By the time the third meal of this dish came around, I didn't have any more Coconut Rice left, so I just put the Curry over lettuce! The curry worked as a great salad dressing.

Ingredients:
For the Curry:

• 1 lb chicken, cut into cubes
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 red onion, minced
• 2/3 cup canned coconut milk
• 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
• 1/2 cup cashews
• 2-3 Tbsp curry
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• pinch of cinnamon
• salt and pepper, to taste

For the coconut rice:

•  1 head cauliflower, stem removed, roughly chopped
• 1/3 cup canned coconut milk
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp raw honey
• pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. First add your chopped cauliflower to your food  processor to "rice" the cauliflower
2. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp coconut oil then add your cauliflower. Add a pinch of salt, then cover to help steam, stir occasionally
3. Get another large skillet and place under medium heat - melt coconut oil
4. Add minced garlic then the chicken once the garlic becomes fragrant
5. Once the chicken begins to become with on all sides, add the 2/3 cup coconut milk and pureed pumpkin to the skillet. Mix until the pumpkin breaks down and incorporates
6. Add onions and spices
7. Now, add the remaining ingredients for the coconut rice, cover, and cook down. Be sure to stir occasionally so the rice doesn't burn
8. Let the rice cook for about 5-8 minutes until the coconut milk has evaporated
9. When chicken is done cooking, and the curry has thickened a bit, remove from heat and add the cashews to the mixture
10. Place coconut rice in a bowl and top with chicken curry!
