Red Curry

Posted by Christine Published in Recipes

John doesn’t like thai, but he likes my thai food. Smart man.

In a medium saucepan combine aprox 2 tsp Thai Red Curry Paste with one can of full fat coconut milk. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Add 1/3 cup cup very finely chopped basil (Trader Joe’s Basil has a great full flavor, perfect for this), 3 Tbsp premium fish sauce, 1/3 cup chicken stock (not broth, Trader Joes has some great chicken stock in their soup section) very thinly sliced carrots, and quartered small mushrooms (white or crimini are good for this). Veggies should total about 1 1/2 cups. Then add aprox one large chicken breast cut into small cubes. Simmer for 25-30 minutes. Take one kaffir lime leave, bend it to release the flavor.
Serve with Jasmine rice (also available at TJ’s, jasmine rice has a distinctive flavor for Thai cooking) and enjoy!

I admit, I add a lot more basil leaves then this sometimes, Its just yummy.

It’s true, I dont’ like Thai, unless it’s of the kick-boxing variety. Anyone who has not seen “Ong Bak” must go out and rent it before seeing me again, or FACE MY WRATH!!!

Damn, I think City of Villains is affecting me.
