Where is the recipe for the avacodo sauce
I believe that you are referring to the avocado sauce noted in this post.
This is very yummy, even hubby liked it. Made it as written , subbed red onion for shallot. Will add more curry and garlic next time. Loved that it used dry spices. Served over sauted cabbage.
Give it a go !
Does this recipe work just as well with chicken?
Yes, it would be great with ground chicken.
Absolutely love it!
It’s my favourite, go-to, easy and flavourful curry recipe. Thanks
Thanks Suzanne, these bowls are one of our go-to’s as well! We appreciate you coming back to leave a rating and review 😊
This was very good. I added an extra tsp of curry making it a full Tbsp. I love curry. The first night we had it on spinach. The leftovers I didn’t have any spinach so I sautéed some green cabbage in butter with salt and pepper until just wilted. LOVED it! I think I prefer it on the cabbage. I added half an avocado to each bowl and sprinkled with fresh sliced green onions. Thanks for sharing. My new fav dish!
Serving it over cabbage sounds so good! Thanks for coming back and sharing :).
This was so yummy! And done cooking in under 30 minutes which is always nice for a weeknight. I wilted the greens in with the meat and curry mixture, and it turned out delicious! I usually have most of these ingredients on hand, so I will definitely make this again!
Do you use red curry paste or yellow curry powder? Look forward to making this!!!
We use yellow curry powder. Enjoy!
This is a go-to for me and super easy and delicious! I change up the greens, sometimes broccoli, but tonight was sauteed kale with garlic and onions. Everyone I have ever made this for loves it.
Thanks Lucy, glad you enjoy this one :).
A family favorite that’s on weekly repeat. Don’t fret if you don’t have tomato paste. It still tastes great without it.
This recipe is in my regular rotation! I love how easy it is and it’s delicious. We sometimes add broccoli to the bowls in addition to the greens. Since we are doing the fertility diet I add a couple of tablespoons of ground organ meat to the beef. (You can’t taste it). I started using extra coconut milk to make it a little more saucy. Thanks for your easy and healthy recipes! I know the ingredients will always be clean in your recipes so I can trust them!
That’s so great to hear Mandee, the addition of broccoli sounds so good :). We are glad you found our site with recipes you can trust and we wish you the best of luck on your fertility journey. It can be a wild ride…
Packed with flavor and leaves you feeling satisfied 🙂
I had this meal over zoodles and it was delicious!
Thanks so much for your consistent yummy & nutritious recipes!
So glad you’ve given this one a try! It’s a go-to for us! We haven’t had it over zoodles lately, so we’ll have to do that next time we make it! Thanks again for taking the time to come comment and share! We really appreciate it! 🙂
I have everything but tomato paste & shallots. I am good skipping the latter, but what would you recommend as tomato paste substitute? I would love to make this for lunch tomorrow.
Thanks!
You can omit the tomato paste completely. It will taste a little different, but should still taste good. Or, you could add in a little bit of canned diced tomatoes if you have them.
I’m assuming this can be used with chicken? Thanks!
Sure. We haven’t tried it but it should work fine.
So I didn’t have a shallot and only 1 pound of ground beef, but had the rest in the cupboard. Turned out great! The 3 year old is plowing through it again as I type this. Well done, this is bookmarked and thank you for putting this recipe out there.
That’s great! We always love hearing when recipes are super kiddo friendly! Thanks for taking the time to come back and share! We’ve made it without the shallow too when we didn’t have one on hand. 🙂
Curry and beef is a killer combination for me. I love both so this one I can’t wait to try. Thanks for sharing!
This is one of our favorite recipes. It’s so easy and tasty 🙂
This makes my mouth watery! Thank you so much for sharing this curry beef recipe!
Enjoy! It’s one of our favorites 🙂
Made this tonight , super easy and full of flavor. I used kale and jasmine rice in my bow, and I made the avocado dressing mentioned in the above comments. The bowl itself was good without the dressing, but I’m glad I made the dressing because it upped the flavors and my husband is a sauce guy and liked it much more than if it didn’t have the dressing. Thanks so much, very tasty and I feel good about what we are eating.
Perfect! Glad you liked the recipe and the sauce. We just had this one for dinner a couple of days ago, it’s our go-to for a quick and easy meal 🙂
This curry beef bowl is perfect! I want this very soon!
It’s one of our favorites! We hope you love it :).
Would this be good with one of your sauce recipes? Let me know which one you think! Thanks!
Hey there! Assuming you mean in place of the curry seasonings? I think our Classic Marinade in this post would work well flavor wise. Or you could use our taco seasoning in place of the curry seasonings found in this post. Or if you just want a sauce to put on top of these curry bowls, I’d probably go with the avocado sauce in this post. If you like curry flavors though, I think you’ll be satisfied with this bowl without an additional sauce on top. Hope that helps! 🙂
Oh great! I actually meant a sauce, no a seasoning. I’m definitly going to use th curry seasonings. I’ll check out the avocado dressing you listed! I don’t love Dijon mustard so I wonder if I can leave that out? Any other sauce suggestions? Thank you! Trying this tonight!
Got it! You could definitely try the sauce leaving out the dijon. Or if you’re looking for a store-bought sauce, check out the brand Tessemae’s, which is available at health food stores like Whole Foods and Amazon! They’re a great ready-made option and then you can choose whatever flavor sounds yummy to you!
Thanks, we did the avocado sauce with this dish and we loved it;)
Awesome! Thanks so much for giving both recipes a try! We’re so happy you loved it! 🙂
What type of greens did you use for this recipe?
For the photos we took of this recipe in the blog post, we used kale, and we’ve used spinach and arugula before as well! Hope you give it a try! 🙂
