As cooler days approach, create a warm, creamy bowl of coconut milk simmered with garlic and ginger and served with roasted squashes and vegetables.
By Anina Meyer
I had loads of vegetables in the fridge that I had to use up, and I decided to reduce my coconut milk by adding sautéed ginger and garlic to the pan while it simmered away. I was very pleased with the result and I hope you can try it out too as the weather begins to cool.

Yum… we are trying to enjoy spring right now in NZ but it’s struggling to break through the cold winter we’ve had so I am still making soups. This recipe is next on the menu as I love coconut milk in soups and always have veges that “need to be eaten” sitting in the vege bin looking at me!
