Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional)
• 10 medium size carrots, rinsed and sliced
• 5 chopped fresh tomatoes
• Water, enough to cover
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 can (400 g / 14 oz.) full fat coconut milk

Directions

Heat oil in a pot. Add onions, garlic and turmeric and sauté until soft and fragrant. Add carrots and tomatoes and cook for a minute or so, while stirring. Now add water, sea salt and pepper. Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the carrots are tender.
