Delectable Green Thai Curry Paste

Delectable Green Thai Curry Paste

This is a longstanding favourite in our house. We make extra big batches and freeze it so we can have a weekly feast of green thai curry over veggies and non-genetically modified tofu. It is simply delicious!

Note: Note this makes enough for a lot of curry paste to freeze

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp whole coriander seeds
  • 4 tsp whole cumin seed
  • 4 tsp whole black peppercorns
  • 8 garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 inch piece of ginger peeled
  • 1 cup chopped shallots or 1 medium onion chopped
  • 4 jalepeno peeled with seeds
  • 2 tbsp lemongrass paste
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • 2 bunches fresh cilantro
  • juice of 2 lime
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 1 cup olive or avocado oil

Directions

  1. Blend all ingredients in a food processor.
  2. Using a wok if you have one, combine a half can of coconut milk with about 6 tbsp (or more or less) of this paste. Bring to a simmer.
  3. You can use any veggies you want and for your protein you can use baked non-GMO tofu or add chicken instead.

To Make A Stir Fry/Curry with this delectable sauce:

You will need the following ingredients:

  • 4 big Potatoes
  • 1 package of Non-GMO tofu
  • 1 Japanese eggplant (or 2 if smaller)
  • 1 can of Coconut milk
  • 8 (or more) shitake mushrooms
  • 1 cup to 2 cups worth of Baby bok choy or veggies of your choice
  • Short grain brown rice or your choice of rice – also not necessary if you are avoiding grains
  • Lime

Directions

  1. Add about 1 ½ cup of chopped potato and cover
  2. While the potatoes are simmering, broil 1 brick of cubed firm tofu that has been tossed in some wheat free tamari/soy sauce and sesame oil until browned.
  3. When the potatoes are partially cooked, add about 1 ½ cups of chopped japanese/chinese eggplant (the long, thin eggplant, not the globe eggplant), 1 cup chopped shitake mushroom and the rest of the coconut milk.
  4. Transfer the broiled tofu to the wok at this point as well. Simmer until veggies are cooked.
  5. A couple minutes before taking off the heat, add in some chopped veggies of your choice. I like bok choy or beet greens. Finally add a good squeeze of fresh lime.
  6. Serve over brown rice.
