Ultimate Veggie Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce and Green Herby Rice using Pura Coconut Oil

A quick and delicious stir-fry — loads of vegetables, an amazing peanut sauce and herby rice — a brilliant quick dinner as you can whip them up with any veg.

The team at Pura kindly sent me some of their lovely products to challenge me to create a healthy and easy recipe.

I’m always up for a challenge and as you know I’m a huge fun of both quick and Asian inspired flavours, so I made a veggie stir-fry with a peanut sauce with green herby rice.

I think it ticks all the boxes.

A stir-fry is a brilliant quick dinner. You can whip them up with any veg you have in your fridge, and they’re also one of the best ways of incorporating lots of vegetables into your meal.

I’ve used some of my favourites here, cauliflower, broccoli, and sugar snaps which all keep a gorgeous crunch, but old favourites like carrots, peppers, and mushrooms are also delicious.

What can I say about this peanut sauce.

Well, it’s super peanutty, so I’m in heaven.

And it’s super versatile, it’s brilliant as a sauce for stir-fry, but it’s also a delicious marinade for tofu or used as a dipping sauce.

I also love adding extra veggies and herbs to rice, quinoa etc, so that’s exactly what I did here and added big handfuls of spinach, coriander, and mint to my rice.

I think it complements the stir-fry perfectly.

I used Pura Coconut Oil Blend Spray to cook my veg, and it’s a lovely blend of coconut, sunflower, and rapeseed oils. In a convenient spray and totally flavour free, which is great if you don’t want the oil to flavour your dishes.

Pura Coconut Oil Blend is also high in Omega-3, it is lower in saturated fat than traditional coconut oil.

It’s brilliant for cooking pancakes, as you can just use a quick spray to coat the bottom of the pan, rather than using lots of oil and getting greasy rather than fluffy pancakes. And it’s flavour free; happy days!

The Pura Coconut Blend range includes a liquid blend and a spray. The Pura Coconut Oil Blend is combined with Rapeseed and Sunflower oil. The liquid consistency is perfect for roasting, basting and frying. Pura Coconut Oil Liquid Blend Spray offers portion control, making it a great choice for stir-frying and basting.

I hope you love this recipe, Niki xx
