If you lover curry and you’re feeling adventurous in the kitchen why not try making your own red curry paste? This vegan Thai Style Red Curry Paste I keep making over and over again, and not just for curries! I will add a spoonful in a soup to spice it up or I use it as a marinade for shrimp before grilling or tofu before searing. This paste encompasses all the spicy and fragrant flavours you would want in a red curry while the Intense Strawberry Spread helps to balance out the heat.
Firstly, all of the ingredients can be thrown in a blender or food processor for an instant paste making it super easy. Secondly, it’s both vegan & waste friendly.
Uses Up: Strawberry condiments, red bell pepper, chili peppers, lemongrass
