Note

This is one of the recipes that I use to get rid of Thanksgiving turkey leftovers. My kids LOVE it!

Directions

1. Place 1/2 can coconut milk and all other remaining ingredients in a blender and puree.
2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a Dutch oven and add blender contents; sautee until very fragrant.
3. Add vegetables, meat and remaining coconut milk; bring to a simmer and cook without a lid until vegetables are tender.
4. Serve over hot jasmine rice.
