Well Fed Indeed

Last night I re-made a Thai hot plate from page 37 of Well Fed.  I tried this one a few months ago using eggplant as the recipe suggested.  Turns out that I'm not a big fan of eggplant.  So, I subbed zucchini (yum) for the eggplant this time and it was amazing!!  It had kind of buttery/cheesy flavor to it.  I have no idea how that happened given the ingredients I used, but it was a pleasant surprise.  It might have been the extra long simmer on the stove, or perhaps the spaghetti squash noodles provided some hidden magic.  Regardless of how it happened, this was the best Paleo meal I'd eaten in weeks.  I can't wait to get at the leftovers.

Here's my set-up, though I forgot to include the coconut oil:

And complete, before serving over spaghetti squash noodles:

I realize this doesn't look that appetizing, but as the old cliche goes... what it lacks in appearance, it makes up for in flavor!
