Vegetarian Coconut Thai Green Curry Recipe

Craving a vibrant and flavorful Thai Green Curry but want a vegetarian option? Look no further! This recipe delivers all the authentic taste of your favorite restaurant dish, packed with fresh vegetables and infused with the creamy richness of coconut milk.

Thai Green Curry paste is the heart of this recipe. You can find it pre-made in most supermarkets (look for vegetarian versions that don’t contain fish sauce) or, for a truly authentic experience, you can make your own. Homemade paste allows you to control the ingredients and spice level.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp Thai green curry paste
• 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable broth
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tsp brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
• Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions:

1. Heat coconut oil in a large pot or wok over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the Thai green curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to bloom.
4. Add bell pepper, broccoli, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until slightly tender.
5. Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.
6. Stir in soy sauce and brown sugar. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Stir in lime juice.
8. Serve hot over cooked rice, garnished with fresh basil leaves.

Tips and Variations:

• Add other vegetables like zucchini, snap peas, or spinach.
• For extra protein, add tofu or chickpeas.
• Adjust the amount of curry paste to your preferred spice level.
• Serve with a side of naan bread or roti for dipping.
