Easy Bell Pepper and Cashew Coconut Curry Stir Fry
Description: Easy peasy stir fry recipe. Serve with couscous or rice. NOTE: You CAN add extra "heat" to this recipe (extra cayenne pepper or curry paste) to suit your own tastes. I have deliberately kept the flavors mild in this recipe in order to not overshadow the taste of the fresh peppers and cashews. I love spicy hot food, but sometimes a mild take on things is a nice change from my routine. You be the judge!

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
