Red Curry with Vegatables
9th June
Thai curries are a favorite of mine when I eat out at Thai restaurants, especially when I’m trying to avoid eating noodles and other high carb dishes. Normally I make this dish with shrimp or chicken breast but on occasion if I’m on a veggie kick I’ll just use vegetables.

1 tbsp of red curry paste
1/8 tsp of salt
1 tbsp of olive oil
1 tsp of chili paste

One thing I always say about recipes…they are suggested starting points, not written in stone. If you don’t like onions and would rather … Read More »
