    Thai Green Curry


    I’m sure I have posted this recipe somewhere here already. This version was especially tasty:
    – Fry a chopped onion
    – Make green curry paste in a blender using the following ingredients:
    – a large bunch on fresh coriander (leaves and stalks)
    – one or two fresh chillies (depending on how hot they are)
    – one clove of garlic
    – about 2cms of fresh ginger
    – a teaspoon of Thai shrimp paste (sometimes called Trassi or Kapi – you can buy it in most oriental stores)
    – A little oil, sesame oil is good for a nutty flavour
    – Add the curry paste to the onions
    – Add coconut milk
    – Add a tin of peas, or fresh peas, or even frozen ones
    – Cook on a gentle heat
    – Add fresh peeled shrimp and cook through (if you are using cooked shrimps do not cook for so long, just heat them sufficiently)
    I serve this with rice and fresh basil.
