I found a container of green curry paste while my mom and I were shopping at Earth Fare this past weekend. We love curry and Thai food so we tossed that in our basket with our even thinking again. Green curry gets its green color from the basil that is used in it and it is usually sweet. Green curry also has some heat to it, its usually as hot or hotter than red curry.
So tonight I decided to look up a recipe for curry paste and cook it up! First I stir fried the left over squash and onion from my lasagna last night. I fried them with some garlic and sesame oil. Then I cooked some brown rice to serve the curry on.
I looked at a few different recipes and I cooked up my own hybrid version. That always doesn't go well but this time it was great! I used 4 tablespoons of my curry paste, 15oz of coconut creme (I used that instead of coconut milk), 1/4 cup of basil leaves chopped, some agave nectar, and 1 cup of vegetable stock. Mix all those up and bring to a boil, then let the mixture simmer for 15min. After that you can add what ever you already cooked to go with the curry. I added my veggies and let simmer for another 5 min. Serve over rice and enjoy!
Overall wonderful!! I didn't get my curry to rice ratio correct and ended up with too much sweet curry for my rice. I highly suggest looking into making some your self!
Happy munching :)
