Instructions
Heat coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Pour in diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer.

Sasha often adds a squeeze of lime juice at the end for brightness.
Feel free to add a handful of spinach during the last five minutes of simmering for extra greens.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on how much heat you like in your stew.
