Healthy Green Curry Paste
Green Curry Paste
Fresh Green Curry Paste in 10 minutes!
Homemade green curry paste makes all the difference! Your taste buds will absolutely thank you!
Everything about green curry makes me happy! The creaminess, the flavor, the spice and the subtle sweetness.
We are all about fresh, organic, and healthy ingredients and our green curry paste it just that!
This recipe is designed to deliver and easy, healthy, and fresh green curry paste that you could NEVER get out of a can. Additionally this recipe is designed for those who can't always access an asian market for uncommon ingredients such as galangal or kaffir leaf leaves.
This recipe is super easy, takes 10 minutes and only requires a blender or food processor.
Our base for our green curry is lemongrass (or lemon zest), serrano chilies, ginger, green onions, shallot, green bell pepper, garlic. To get an authentic flavor and added health value, we add cumin seeds, coriander, fresh turmeric, lime and lime zest, olive oil and maple syrup. If your missing an ingredient or two - try your best to find a close substitute you have on hand. Remember the best thing about homemade green curry paste is you can customize it to your taste buds! If you enjoy heat add more chilies, if you like garlic feel free to add more! We like to think of cooking as a palette - cook your way and don't be defined by a recipe.
We hope you love this recipe! It's the perfect balance of:
Citrus
Heat
Flavor
Aromatic
Ginger
And of course fresh and NUTRITIOUS!
Try adding this curry paste to dishes like our vegetable green curry or even to eggs.
