Cooking Tips
Dendê oil (or red palm oil) is pressed from the fruit of oil palm trees — grown in Brazil and Africa — and boasts a beautiful desert-red color. Thicker and more flavorful than other oils, you can find dendê oil at most international markets, online and at some well-stocked grocery stores.
If you’ve counting carbs, you can easily substitute cooked cauliflower rice for white rice.
The curry can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
