Instructions
  • Sautรฉ the mushrooms: Heat a non-stick skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add oil (or water/broth) and the mushrooms, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and the juices start to release.
  • Add beans and seasoning: Stir in the white beans, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and coat the mushrooms and beans.
  • Simmer the broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Stir to combine, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Add spinach: Remove the lid and stir in the spinach. Cook uncovered for 2โ€“4 minutes, until the spinach is wilted and vibrant.
  • Finish and serve: Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Divide into bowls and serve hot, optionally with crusty bread or over rice.

Spice It Up: Add a pinch of chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce if you like a little heat.
Storage: Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
