Massaman Curry using Trader Joe Thai Sauce

This recipe is AMAZINGLY close to the dish I love getting at Thai restaurants.  Using the bottled Trader Joe sauce makes this a super fast and easy dinner!  You can easily make this vegetarian by omitting the chicken or add extra vegetables by adding cauliflower.  I've noted the optional add-ins below.  This also makes great take-to-school lunch leftovers for the next day!
Picture from here.

Carmelize with 3 TBS olive oil for 5 minutes:
1 medium sweet vidalia onion, diced

Add and simmer 15 minutes:
1/2 head Cauliflower, cut into small florets (optional)
1-2 c. cooked chicken (optional)
2 large Russett Potatoes, peeled, cut in cubes
4 large carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 cans coconut milk

Add and stir in:
1 11 oz bottle Trader Joes Red Thai Curry sauce
3 TBS peanut butter
2 TBS honey
1 can water chestnuts (optional)
1/2 c. chopped peanuts (optional)

-Serve in a bowl over jasmine or short grain brown rice.  Garnish with fresh cilantro/limes/chopped peanuts/cashews if desired.


Instant Pot Version:  Carmelize onions on saute setting 5 minutes.  Add all other ingredients and pressure cook for 3-4 minutes.
Ketogenic Version (serve without rice and no honey)
