Curried Mung Bean Stew

The mung bean is often used in Asian cuisine. This quick-cooking legume is super-nutritious—packed with protein, dietary fiber, potassium, iron, and magnesium—and is fantastic in Indian-style fare. Curry bullion cubes are great for this, or mix 2 cups (470 ml) water with 2 teaspoons curry powder.

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup (160 g) diced onion
• 1⁄2 cup (65 g) chopped carrot
• 1 cup (110 g) cubed sweet potatoes
• 1⁄2 cup (60 g) chopped celery
• 3 cups (150 g) loosely packed collard green strips
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• or 1 tablespoon (6 g) minced fresh
• 1⁄4 teaspoon turmeric
• 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
• 2 cups (470 ml) curry broth
• 1 cup (235 ml) water
• 1 cup (200 g) dried mung beans
• 2 tablespoons (45 ml) lemon juice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt

In an uncovered pressure cooker, heat the oil on medium heat, add the garlic, onion, carrot, potatoes, and celery and saute for 5 minutes. Add the collard greens, ginger, turmeric, paprika, curry broth, water, and mung beans. Stir to combine.

Cover and bring to pressure. Cook at high pressure for 6 to 8 minutes. Allow for a natural release.

Stir in the lemon juice and add salt to taste.
