I harvested fresh ingredients for Thai curry paste from my garden this week. A beautiful, aromatic, satisfying experience in itself..let alone the meals that can be cooked from it.
I made slow cooker red lentil curry with some of it, using pre-harvested purple sweet potato, carrots & butternut pumpkin, served with rice.
Nine out of fifteen curry paste ingredients I picked fresh from my garden:
Fresh ginger, kaffir lime, turmeric, tahitian lime, thai bantum chilli, lemongrass, red legs spring onions & garlic chives.
Then I gathered two preserved crops out of the freezer and pantry:
Frozen garlic cloves, dried chillies.
Together with other store-bought supplies in this recipe, they made a delicious paste which I’m sure was the star ingredient of the slow cooker red lentil curry I cooked. My best curry yet.
The rest of the double batch paste is frozen into cubes for 5 to 6 other meals.
The curry paste recipe shown here (makes 3/4 cup).
Stick blend it all together for ease.
The slow cooker red lentil curry (which you can look up yourself) used 3T of the paste.
Sorted 💚
