INSTRUCTIONS

In a large saucepan, sauté the garlic in the coconut oil for 1 minute. Add the green beans and zucchini, and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the curry paste, making sure to coat all of the vegetables.

Chef V's Tip: For more protein add 1 pound chopped grilled chicken. This dish is great with brown rice.
