Author: Jenn Laughlin - Peas and Crayons

Ingredients

1 large zucchini squash
1-2 cups veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, onion, carrots)
¼ tsp curry powder (plus extra if you're feeling feisty)
⅛ tsp garlic powder
⅛ tsp salt
⅛ tsp pepper

CREAMY CURRY SAUCE:

3 TBSP fresh or store bought mayo or yogurt
½ tsp of curry powder (plus extra to taste)
½ tsp of white vinegar
⅛ tsp garlic powder
⅛ tsp mustard powder or turmeric (if you have it!)

EXTRAS:

chopped green onion
fresh parsley

Instructions

Bring a pot or skillet with about 1/2 inch of shallow water to a boil, toss in broccoli florets, cauliflower florets and chopped carrots and allow to blanch for just a few minutes to soften. Once the broccoli is bright green and starts to tenderize, it should be good to go! You can also steam your veggies or sauté if preferred.
While the veggies cook, heat a skillet with a little bit of olive, grape-seed, or coconut oil and sauté onions until tender.
Remove your blanched veggies from heat, strain in a colander, and add to the onions.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, a sprinkle of garlic powder and 1/4 tsp curry powder.
Stir to incorporate and remove from heat once veggies reach desired tenderness. Since you already blanched them, this will take no time at all. Woot!
Next, use a spiral slicer to crank the zucchini into delicious veggie curls. Alternatively you can easily use a veggie peeler or mandolin slicer to do the same!
Serve your zuke raw [or steamed... but it rocks raw!] with your heaping pile of curried veggies and top with a delicious drizzle of creamy curry dressing.
To make the dressing, whisk together mayo, vinegar and spices and serve at room temperature. Garnish with green onions and a sprinkle of parsley.

So… how was it?

Fabulous and flavorful! Love it so!

This dish was created with and inspired by leftover veggies from the Samosa Stuffed Potatoes I made a few days prior. If you’ve been meaning to try them, get your twice-baked potato on and then make this dish with the leftovers. Its practically 2 recipes for the effort of one. SCORE!

The creamy curry sauce is absolutely heavenly over the tender zucchini noodles, while the warm curried veggies add fabulous texture and heartiness to the dish. Its creamy, savory and refreshing… and also rocks alongside grilled salmon or as an impressive and delicious main dish.
