PASTE CURRY GREEN

I've always loved green curries but until I saw Nigella's "curry in a hurry" video I'd never thought about making it, and as it's usually too spicy for me to handle often. Not so when you make it at home! This is a gorgeous shortcut to a delicious meal, and let me share how I make it even quicker and with less effort than old Nige! I bring home a rotisserie chicken and strip off the meat. I use frozen or canned peas (Le Sueur!), roasted red peppers and anything else on hand that sounds good that day. Make a batch of rice (I use Jasmine rice) and when that's sitting with the cover on for the final 10 minutes, heat oil in a deep skillet, add the full jar of green curry paste, one can of full fat coconut milk (reduced is just waters it down and will not taste good at all), some coconut aminos to taste, a pinch of sea salt, and if you like a slightly sweeter curry you can add a bit of your sweetener of choice as well. Let that all bubble and simmer, as you add the thawed/decanted/drained veg, shredded chicken, etc. Cover and let simmer at lowest heat to allow the flavors to release and mix slowly. By the time the rice is ready, you should be just about done and ready to serve! Of course, like most curries, stews and casseroles, it's even more delicious a few hours later so I eat a modest portion and come back later, lol. You can vary what's in this, make it spicier, etc, but that's our go-to and has been for about 12 years now. We keep this, coconut milk and rice on hand so I can whip this up anytime and it's ALWAYS a huge hit. Great for cool nights, especially, or for a really nourishing lunch. Thank you Nigella, for bringing this easy, delicious meal into our lives!

Yummy but can be hot if you use too much.

I have been using this product for several years and it is consistently good. For some unknown reason the grocery stores I normally shop at have stopped carrying the green curry and only offer the red. I was so happy to find it on Amazon and the price was even better than at the grocery store.

Disgusting taste!

The paste is great. But it's not really worth the money for such a small amount of curry
