INGREDIENTS:
- 1 tablespoon avocado or coconut oil
- 1 shallot, minced

- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼- ½ teaspoon pink salt

- In a FIREDISC cooker, heat oil over medium heat. Add in minced shallot, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Add curry paste. Stir well. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add sliced bell pepper and cubed pumpkin. Stir. Cook for 2 more minutes. Add coconut milk, brown sugar, and salt.
- Stir. Bring mixture to a simmer. If using a protein, add it.
- Cover with Ultimate Flattop Lid. Lower heat to medium-low and continue simmering for 20 minutes.
- To make a creamy curry, take about half of the coconut milk liquid and cooked pumpkin (leaving the protein in the cooker) and add to a high-powered blender. Blend until pureed. Add it back into the cooker.
- Add broccoli and fish sauce. Cook for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with steamed rice and top with fresh herbs.
- NOTE: Adjust cooking temperature if any stage of this recipe goes too fast or gets too hot. Turn the heat down a bit and keep on cooking. Your FIREDISC® cooker heats quickly and evenly.
