You'll need: 1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 large red onion, thinly sliced 2 jalapenos, seeded and thinly sliced 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons mild curry powder 1/2 teaspoon garam masala 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon agave 3 cups vegetable broth 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 1/2 lbs red potatoes, in 3/4 inch pieces 1 lb collards, rough stems removed, leaves chopped into bite sized pieces 1 cup coconut milk 1 1/2 cups cooked black eyed peas (from a 15 oz can, rinsed and drained) For the Mango Avocado Salsa: 1 ripe avocado, diced 1 ripe mango, diced 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice To serve: Basmati rice Optional garnish: Fresh chopped cilantro | Preheat a 4 quart pot over medium heat. Saute the onion and jalapeno in the coconut oil for 5 to 7 minutes, until onion is lightly browned. Add the garlic and ginger, and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of curry powder, garam masala, salt, vegetable broth, agave, and tomato paste, and stir. The tomato paste may not dissolve just yet but that’s ok, it will when it heats through. Add the potatoes, cover pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, immediately lower heat to a simmer, and leave the lid ajar so that steam can escape. Let potatoes cook just until tender, about 5 more minutes. In the meantime, toss together all of the salsa ingredients in a mixing bowl and set aside. Once potatoes are fork tender, add the collards, black-eyed peas and coconut milk. Stir gently to incorporate. Leave lid ajar again, and bring to a simmer. Let simmer just until collards are tender, it should only take a few minutes. Turn off heat and taste for salt and spices. Add remaining curry powder if needed. It tastes best if you let it sit for 10 minutes or so, but if you can’t wait then just dig in! Serve over basmati rice, topped with mango avocado salsa and cilantro, if you like. Have some sriracha at the ready in case you want a little extra spice. |

It is about courage, about standing up for your beliefs, granting the right to live and raising your voice against animal exploitation and abuse and waste of valuable resources, when ignorant silence would be way more convenient. It is about being a voice for those millions and billions of animals who's cries go unheard every day and every year. It is the only logical consequence after opening your eyes to the sad and brutal reality of today's food industry, the mass production of foods, that are killers for both, humans and animals alike and that serve one purpose only: Filling the bank accounts of greedy corporations. Veganism means restricting yourself by choice to a plant based diet and respecting animals for what they are: Living sentient beings. It is about letting go of human arrogance and bad food choices, about healing your body and your soul. Veganism is a positive revolution of gratitude, of people changing individually, thriving and reaching out to unite in the desire to change our planet, discovering what Earth and Life has to offer to all of its inhabitants.
