Directions:

- Chop 4 cloves garlic.  *Do this first and let the garlic sit for 10 minutes.  Allowing the garlic to sit after chopping prevents allicin from being destroyed during cooking.  Allicin is anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer!  

- Add 1/2 cup vegetable broth to a sauté pan, and heat.  Add chopped onions, and cook for 5-10 minutes on medium (add vegetable broth as needed), stirring frequently.

- Add garlic & mushrooms, cook for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently. 

- Add coconut milk, bell peppers, green beans, chickpeas, kale, and spices.  Cook for 10-20 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until you reach the desired consistency and texture.

- If you like spicy, you can add red pepper flakes!
