<\/a><\/p>\nThe first time I made this recipe it was so spectacularly delicious the entire dish was consumed by two people.\u00a0 The Good Husband was even looking for more.\u00a0 This recipe should absolutely be in your apron pocket.\u00a0\u00a0 You could simple stop at the curry paste and coconut milk, but the\u00a0 grated lemon peel, ginger, fish sauce and brown sugar or honey gives the dish more layers of flavour.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It’s so easy why wouldn’t you go for the gusto.<\/p>\n
Use this recipe as a blueprint for any Thai red curry\u00a0 and experiment with different ingredients in place of the beef.\u00a0 Boneless chicken or shrimp work well.\u00a0 Do a mixture of\u00a0 vegetables such as baby corn, eggplant,\u00a0 green beans,\u00a0 sweet potato and broccoli.<\/p>\n
Buy the best quality brand of curry paste available, some are better than others.\u00a0 If you find a good one, this will taste remarkably authentic.\u00a0 Also buy the best\u00a0 quality\u00a0 coconut milk.\u00a0 I like the organic brands.<\/p>\n
