Green Vegetable Curry

Hi everyone! We are coming up on week 7 of BaltimOrganic CSA.  I have been wanting to make a curry, waiting for the right mix of veggies to come along, and this week we have a mix that will work- and they are all green, hence the name :-)

It can be really easy to make a Thai style curry or you can choose to go the route of mixing spices yourself which takes some time.  I've done both and many things between. The easiest thing to do is buy Thai (the brand) green (or red) curry paste in a jar and follow the directions mixing it with coconut milk and adding the vegetables.

The vegetable proportions are really to your liking and you can add more or less- whatever makes sense.  This recipe will make about 4 servings.

What you'll use from your bag:

• Zucchini (2 -4 cut in chunks)
  
• Green Beans (large handful, cut in half)
• Leeks (2 stems, chopped about 1/2" wide)
• Onion (sweet walla walla) (cut in 1/4 or 1/8 depending on size & separated)
• Kale (optional) (broken in salad size pieces)

What else you'll need:

• Coconut Milk  (1 can)
• Thai curry paste (if going the simple route) or use this curry recipe I posted previously
• Jasmine Rice (prepared)
• Olive Oil (just a splash)

First, Prepare:

• Begin cooking the rice according to the instructions with the rice you have
• Saute the onion and leeks in a splash of olive oil for a few minutes- remove from heat and set aside

Next:

• Prepare the curry using the instructions on the curry paste jar
• Add the vegetables listed above including the sauteed leeks, onions, and kale (if using)
• Allow to cook about 10-15 minutes on low/medium heat (or until the veggies are tender but not overcooked)

Finally...:

• Serve your creation over rice
• Enjoy!

Namaste
