The weather cools and my large Staub is a permanent fixture on the stove usually filled with a delicious spiced stew or curry. This vegan green curry is exactly what’s needed for these winter nights. The curry is full of gorgeous spicy Thai flavors, bright herbs, and in a creamy coconut broth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredient Spotlight: Green Curry Paste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thai green curry paste (kaeng khiao wan<\/em>), the iconic viridescent paste is made with hot green chillies, garlic, galangal, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, shallots, roots, cumin seeds, peppercorns and a little shrimp paste for that umami richness. Gathering these ingredients outside Thailand\/Asia is a bit challenging, but not impossible, thankfully Asian markets usually stock all these ingredients most times. If you have time and access to a well-stocked globally-influenced pantry\/fridge, its worth making green curry paste from scratch. Unfortunately, that\u2019s just not possible in my world most times. Fortunately there is store-bought green curry paste and this is my favorite brand.<\/a> Mind you this paste is not vegan\/ vegetarian, it has shrimp paste, if you’re looking for vegan then this one is my second favorite green curry paste<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find store-bought green curry paste very hot, if using less it lacks flavor. My little hack is to portion and freeze some of the herbs like galangal, kaffir leavers and lemongrass when I buy them at my local Asian market. When ready to cook I defrost some and include them in the curry to bump up the flavor without too much heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not the most traditional combination of veggies, however these were locally available and I feel nutritionally rich. Choose whatever you have on hand or locally available. I look for colors, texture and seasonal veggies. <\/p>\n\n\n
