Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy with her guest Danielle Bussone aired Sept 29th-Oct 5th
Danielle Bussone says becoming a vegan was a life-saver for me. A surgeon inadvertently severed a crucial part of my anatomy, creating for me six years of pain and suffering, numerous surgeries and hospitalizations, multiple life-threatening complications, and a few near-death experiences. Discovering plant-based nutrition turned my health around and allowed me to not only survive, but to thrive.
Danielle Bussone’s journey through medical errors and complications devastated her health and nearly claimed her life. In severe chronic pain and disillusioned by the medical industry, Danielle turned to foods to recover her health.
In “Time for Change: Whole Foods For Whole Health!,” Danielle Bussone shows us that becoming vegan is an exciting expedition into a new world of flavors and cultural culinary experiences. Whether you wish to fully embrace a WFPB lifestyle or would just like to add healthy foods to your current diet, Bussone arms the reader with mouthwatering, healthy recipes that will make the inclusion of whole foods easy, delicious and restorative.

Coconut Curry With Indian Spices
This dish smells as good as it tastes. The aromas will drive your family and dinner guests wild while they are awaiting this treat. Again, don’t be intimidated by the number of ingredients needed. You’ll use these spices over and over. Measuring them out in advance into small bowls will prevent mistakes. It is easy to forget a spice if it isn’t handy. If you prepare the rice in advance, it will save you some time when you are scrambling to get food on the table. It is also very good served with French whole wheat couscous, which only takes 10 minutes to prepare. It is also excellent served over linguini.
Note that the cinnamon stick, bay leaf, and cardamom pods are for flavor and should not be eaten. Pick the cinnamon and bay leaf out before serving; the cardamom pods will be harder to find so just warn your guests that they are not to be eaten. They won’t hurt them, but the seeds are very fibrous and have a woody texture. Plus, biting into them may give your guests a jolt of cardamom flavor that could be overpowering.
Time: 35 to 40 minutes
Yield: 7 cups, plus rice
Ingredients:
Prepare in advance:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat French Couscous
2 1/4 cups mirepoix vegetable stock or filtered water
2 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, or one can organic chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained
Spice Blend:
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground hot chili powder (You can substitute cayenne.)
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
Main Ingredients:
2 cups diced onion (1 large onion)
2 bay leaves
6 cardamom pods
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 can organic coconut milk
6 ounces baby spinach, washed and spun dry
1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half (1 3/4 cups or about 40)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Preparation: about 20 minutes
Prepare vegetables.
Transfer drained, cooked chickpeas to a bowl. Set aside.
Set aside cinnamon stick and cardamon pods. Measure remaining spices into a small bowl. Set aside.
Method: 15 to 20 minutes
In a dry skillet, sauté onion with bay leaves, cardamom pods, and cinnamon until soft and translucent, stirring frequently (about 10 minutes).
Stir in ginger and garlic. Sauté 2 minutes, adding a little water a tablespoon or two at a time if necessary to prevent scorching.
Add turmeric, garam masala, ground chili powder, and black pepper. Stir until spices are fully incorporated with the onion mixture.
Stir in coconut milk, tomatoes, and chickpeas. Cook for 5 minutes or so on medium heat until sauce is bubbling and tomatoes have wilted. Adjust spices to taste.
Just prior to serving, remove saucepan from heat and fold spinach** into mixture until wilted.
Stir in lemon juice and serve immediately over rice, couscous, pasta or grain of choice.
*You can cook chickpeas on your stovetop if you don’t have a pressure cooker, though it will take longer. Or you can substitute canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed.
**Don’t over-cook the spinach. It should be added no more than 5 minutes before serving. Spinach becomes a little slimy if allowed to cook for too long. Heat it only until it is wilted.
Note:
In cooking demonstrations, I often substitute couscous for rice, simply because of time limitations. Actually, couscous is very delicious with this dish. Coconut Curry With Indian Spices can also be served over linguini or angel hair pasta. Please refer to my book,Time For Change: Whole Foods For Whole Health!, for instructions on cooking beans, making vegetable stock and much more.
