Directions

Combine garlic cloves, coconut milk, curry paste and broth / water in a small stock pot or Dutch oven and heat over medium heat until boiling. Once it is at a boil, turn down to medium-low heat so the liquid continues to lightly simmer.
Add the cashew butter by smearing it with a spatula around the side of the pot, at the level of the liquid, then slowly stirring it in. (This allows it to mix in more smoothly, without clumps.) Add the fish sauce and 1 Tbsp of lime juice. Add in the carrots and sweet potato cubes. Cook for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare your protein and cook thoroughly. (For chicken slices, tofu and tempeh, sautee on the stovetop until cooked through. For chickpeas, prepare in advance with a crockpot or on the stovetop.) Remove from heat when done and set aside.
Once the carrots and sweet potato have cooked for 20 minutes, add in the broccoli or green beans and the protein and cook for 7-10 more minutes, until the green veggies are just tender.
Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining 1 T of lime juice and, if using, the cherry tomatoes and basil. Add salt to taste.
