INGREDIENTS:
- 2 tbsp. sunflower oil

- 2 tbsp. minced gingerroot
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1–2 green chiles, seeded and chopped
- 2 tsp. ground cumin

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onion, and cook over a medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Stir in the zucchini and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Stir in the gingerroot, garlic, chiles, and spices, and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the broccoli, beans, peas, coconut milk, and bouillon. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 6 minutes, until the broccoli is just cooked. Season to taste with salt.
