In a large skillet begin cooking onions and garlic in butter. After a few minutes add salt and spices. When onions are soft, add celery and mushrooms. You may want to add 1/2 cup water at this point, top help prevent sticking (and to make a nice broth.) Mix well, cover, and simmer about 5-8 minutes (low heat.) When celery is slightly tender, add apples and tomatoes (both in 1 1/2" slices) and coconut. Mix and continue cooking until everything is just tender, not too mushy. (Additional water might be needed.) Turn off heat. Add honey and lemon juice; mix and let sit, covered. Serve curry after it has sat for a few minutes. It taste best when served over rice, with sauteed almonds on top. Recipe by Moosewood Cookbook MMMMM .
