Filled curry bell peppers with quinoa

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!


I had a request for a "not boring" recipe of filled bell peppers on my facebook page a while ago... and here is my take on "not boring filled bell peppers." :)




I was making up the recipe as I cooked, so these ingredients are all in the dish,
but, for example, not the whole cauliflower.

Curry Coconut Milk Potatoes with Spinach and Cauliflower

Yet another Tuesday work lunch! Monday nights are always a bit of a challenge because I want to cook something nice for my colleague and myself. Something that can easily be taken to work, heated up, and then eaten. And since my friend - unlike me - does not appreciate the taste of meat (and never has), I always want to make sure I make a wholesome, nice meal without making it seem like I'm just bringing side dishes. Curries and chilis are the obvious choice... and for today I did another curry based dish, but a little different from the green Thai curry or the regular tomato based curry. I have something similar every time we are at the Indian restaurant with my boyfriend's parents, ... except they put much more garlic in there. Which I like. But I don't really consider that a great idea for work lunches. So, if you eat this in the privacy of your home or do not care if your breath wreaks havoc on humanity: Don't forget to throw in as much garlic as you like!

Ingredients for 5-6 servings:

  • 1kg of potatoes
  • 1 cauliflower
  • 500g of spinach
  • 1l coconut milk
  • 3 onions
  • massaman curry paste
  • some coconut oil 
  • salt - if necessary. I didn't use any because I was happy with the salt content of my curry paste
  • optional: fresh garlic (preferably chopped finely and added to the pot along with the onions)

Almost like Christmas!

Word of mouth informed me that there was a small organic farm in the north of our city. Word of mouth continued to inform me that they delivered weekly veggie crates! Being the person that I am I got overly excited about it and ordered the largest version they had available. Today was finally the day of days! The box got delivered! The boyfriend even suggested we'd do an "unboxing" video. I was tempted to do that. Then I was to lazy and only took pictures.


Rain and other yucky October weather didn't keep the driver from bringing this colorful beauty to our place. I truly feel like I am a little too excited about a collapsable plastic box full of vegetables. But that's okay. Other people go crazy over shoes with a red sole. I guess when my braincells were programmed, I got lots of those "books and food" ones and very few from the fashion department. Fine with me.

And here it is in all its glory:
