Green Curry

Thai green curry with fresh aromatics

Ingredients

Aromatics

  • fresh turmeric (to taste)
  • garlic (to taste)
  • cilantro stem (& or root, to taste)
  • green chilies (serrano or other green peppers)
  • shallots (to taste)
  • ginger (peeled with a spoon, to taste)
  • lemongrass (smashed, use inner bits)

Other

  • chicken (or other protein)
  • vegetables (your choice)
  • coconut milk (to desired consistency)
  • sweetener (sugar or maple syrup, to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)
  • salt (to taste)

Notes

  • I got real liberal with it though, just grabbed all the stuff from the store and tossed pretty much everything I had in the blender. Turned out pretty nice by eye and would probably be nice to have a difference every time.

Instructions

  • Slam all the fresh aromatics in the blender and grind it down to a fine paste. Use a bit of oil if there’s not enough liquid at first.
  • Cook your protein in some oil, coconut oil is great for the flavour
  • Remove meat and spoon in 2-3 healthy scoops of green curry paste
  • Cook it down a bit, add a little bit of coconut milk
  • Add the rest of coconut milk, season, add sweetener
  • Add veggies and chicken back in
  • Let it simmer for a while till tasty
