Cape Malay Chicken Curry
15 min
If you like a spicy curry, this recipe is definitely for you. Many curry all-stars make an appearance in our key ingredient, South African Curry, like turmeric, European coriander, and black pepper. But what really makes this blend unique (and brings the heat!) is the healthy portion of Indian Cayenne. With an easy protein like chicken breast and several pantry staples such as onions and canned tomatoes, this dish will be simple and quick to make at home. Serve this flavorful and aromatic Cape Malay Chicken Curry with rice or bread for a delicious and comforting meal that brings the taste of South Africa to your table.

Cape Town Cauliflower Potato Curry
15 min
Filling, yet inexpensive to make, this comforting dish with fiery South African flavors makes the most delicious leftovers. Plus, it's Vegan! In this one-pot meal, the veggies are hearty and absorb all of the spices. Turmeric, Coriander, Paprika, Cumin, Cardamom, Cayenne, and Black Pepper come together to make a dish that's both light and savory. Why the Cascade Mushroom Mix? The blend of porcini and vegan Worcestershire give the veggies the extra flavor they needed to be a main course. Serve the curry hot over rice, naan, or with your favorite bread. It's the perfect Meatless Monday dinner, and you might find yourself craving it on other days that end in Y, too.

Vadouvan Vegetable Pie
This savory vegetable pie emerged from our experiments with Vadouvan paste, a wonderfully rich and elegant flavor base. We wanted a warm, comforting meal for the cold weather outside, and this was the prize winning pie. The recipe balances the subtle, hearty flavor of the toasted curry with the earthy goodness of cauliflower and butternut squash. If you don't have Vadouvan paste, then this versatile recipe can easily feature other flavor combinations. Missing one of the vegetables used in this pie? Use whatever you have on hand!

Besar Shrimp Skewers
To celebrate the last gasp of summer, this combination of exotic spices on seafood served with pineapple will transport you straight to the tropics. The bright layers of citrus and spice blend perfectly into the coconut oil and onto the shrimp. If you don’t have time to skewer, just add the shrimp and pineapple to your indoor grill pan and serve on a platter with toothpicks. You can also turn this into a main dish by serving with steamed or grilled vegetables and rice.

Caribbean Curry Carrot Soup
A word of advice from a novice gardener: Carrots are much bigger than carrot seeds. Somehow, fifty-odd square feet of garden space doesn't seem like that much when it's being planted, but it can produce a surprising haul, most especially in the carrot department. Praise be that carrots are delicious, so their being excessively plentiful is a problem I'm thankful to have! This soup is hearty and delicious, made velvety by the soft puree of carrots, and the sunny flavors of Caribbean Curry. We've dressed it up a little with the prawns, but this soup can easily be made vegan by omitting them and using red miso paste in favor of the Worcestershire powder.
