One of my favorite methods to contribute material to my website is to have users pass on well-loved recipes that have been tried and true. Jake shared this recipe with me, and it’s delicious! Of course, I had to make a few changes since I couldn’t help myself, but it’s such a wonderful, warm meal that’s also really simple.
Green curry paste is used in this dish, and it’s quite simple to get at the supermarket. In terms of flavor and heat, they differ dramatically across brands, so it’s worth comparing them before committing to one. Green curry is a milder curry, and we don’t use a lot of it here, so it works nicely.
To give a bit more flavor and heat, I suggest adding 2 Tablespoons of green curry; some people use up to 3 Tablespoons; the original recipe was for 2 teaspoons, so you can see we all have varied preferences!
Green curry is a sweet, flavorful curry with a wonderful mix of flavors that come out when cooked, including green chillies, lemongrass, garlic, kafir lime, and more.
Of course, you may make it from scratch, but I believe purchasing a jar of your favorite is a better option! It may be used to make a variety of dishes.
The ingredients are basic, which is the beauty of slow cookers: you can use simple ingredients that infuse into one other in such a beautiful manner thanks to slow and low cooking. The flavors of coconut cream and Thai cuisine complement each other wonderfully.
When selecting a good quality coconut milk, seek for one with a high solids content and shake the can well before opening it. There are a few more items not listed above that may greatly improve the flavor of the recipe below.
After the majority of the cooking time has passed, you will need to thicken the gravy using flour or cornflour, which is typical when using a slow cooker.
Slow cooking is what slow cookers were made for, but you can cook this on high for just over half the time if you need to, but the meat may not break apart as much as it would if cooked on low for longer.
For slow cooker cooking, I usually chop my vegetables quite chunky, particularly mushrooms, since my kids don’t like them and we have to take them out all the time – the larger they are, the simpler they are to locate!
But I also find that it’s done after the potatoes are cooked and the meat is easily torn apart.
