Green Tomato Stew

Ingredients

• 3 cups diced green tomatoes 
• 1 tablespoon grapeseed or vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 2 green chili peppers (like serrano or jalapeno)
• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 heaping teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 ½ cups coconut milk
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the mustard seeds, the curry powder and the green chilies.
2. Sauté for a few seconds and add the green tomatoes
3. Add the coriander and turmeric powders and mix. Add a few tablespoons of water. When the water boils, put a lid on the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat about five minutes or until the tomatoes are soft. Green tomatoes are firmer and won’t break down as much as ripe tomatoes would.
4. Add the coconut milk to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the tomatoes cook another 5 minutes.
5. Turn off heat and serve.
