Coconut has had a bad rap in the past and has recently seen a big resurgence in popularity which is really good, because I love it. I always buy organic coconut milk just like I prefer to buy the majority of my food organic over conventional. I believe that we do ourselves a favor by avoiding unwanted chemicals at every opportunity and quality food products are a wise investment in our physical well-being.

 

Classic Bone Broth, aromatics (onions, celery, and carrots finely chopped) and I add homemade Shrimp Stock to this dish (just like in the Light and Spicy Gumbo), it really adds depth to the broth that you can’t get otherwise.

 

Serve this dish with brown rice for a create a sanctioned meal and nourishing meal!
