Vegan Thai Red Curry (Paleo)
My go-to creamy, savory, sweet yet spicy, red curry recipe that is naturally Paleo, dairy-free, Vegan and Gluten-free.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 3/4 cup chopped onion (this was ½ of an onion for me)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 large carrots peeled and sliced
- 2 red bell peppers sliced into thin 2-inch long strips
- 3 Tbs red curry paste ("Thai Kitchen" brand is Paleo, Vegan and Gluten-free)
- 1 Tbs freshly grated ginger
- 1 14 ounce can of coconut cream (without preservatives, Savoy brand is great)
- 2 Tbs lime juice
- 3 Tbs maple syrup
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 1 Tbs coconut aminos
- 1 8 ounce can of bamboo shoots
- 1 ½ cups snap peas
Instructions
- Put 1 tbs olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Lower heat to medium.
- Add the carrots and red pepper to the pan and cook for 5-6 mins.
- Then, add the curry paste and freshly grated ginger to the pan, and mix. Add the coconut cream and mix.
- Next, add the lime juice, maple syrup, water, salt, dried basil, ground ginger, and coconut aminos. Mix. Add the bamboo shoots, and then cook for 10 minutes, letting the mixture bubble.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of snap peas and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
Notes
- Instead of coconut cream, you can use coconut milk.
- Instead of maple syrup, you can use honey. Just know the recipe will no longer be Vegan.
- You can add chicken. You can add it to the sauce or make it on the side and add it to your bowl. Again, the recipe will no longer be Vegan.
- You can add baby corn, water chestnuts, broccoli and cabbage to the sauce while it is cooking.
- You can make rice on the side and add it to your bowl.
- You can roast potatoes and add it to your bowl.
