Made this quick recipe from taste this week, wanted to go easy on myself with my mind on other things. Who doesn't get like that? Too much to juggle in a week and we don't have time to do everything that we would like to , so it's essential to keep a few quick recipes on hand so we don't feel like we're skimping on our meal time! Keeping this one in the books:

• 1/2 onion diced
• 2 cloves garlic dice
• 1 small can tomato paste
• 1 can coconut milk
• 1 cup jasmine rice

I had a lot of dried summer squash, so to get it ready for the dish I soaked it in water for about an hour until it was soft then drained it and added it to the coconut milk.
