GGS Recipe~Thai Green Coconut Curry

By Sian on Aug 22, 2009 with Comments 36

Our good friends at Tropical Traditions gave us a 32oz of their Virgin Coconut Oil to experiment with, and we have been having so much fun testing recipes using it.  This week we made my ultimate favorite curry dish ever!

Ingredients:

1lb lean beef strips
1 tbsp thai green curry paste
1 tbsp fish sauce
300ml canned coconut milk
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp Brown sugar
1 tsp crushed garlic
button mushrooms sliced
4 tbsp chopped basil

2 tbsp Virgin Coconut Oil

Directions:

Mix the beef strips with oil and garlic. Heat wok on high. Stir-fry the beef strips in batches 1 minute, removing each batch when cooked.

Before returning beef strips to wok, add sliced mushrooms with a sprinkling of water. Stir for 2 minutes.
Return beef strips. Add curry paste, fish sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar,  Virgin Coconut Oil and chopped basil. Toss to heat through. Then serve with boiled rice and sprinkle fresh basil leaves.

This is so good and easy to make.  Lessen the curry paste if you don’t as much spice as I love.  Adding the oil seemed to enhance the coconut flavor even more.  I love this dish!

GIVEAWAY! Yippeeeeee….

   I subscribe to the Tropical tradition’s news letter. I am a new user of tropical tradition virgin organic coconut oil the gold label. I started because of skin health issues, not only is it clearing them up, but I eat the oil in my meals, drink the oil in juices and blends, I cook with the oil in dishes, some special recipes of raw foods and I continue to put on my kids and my own body for skin issues its an all inclusive product..that works for me and and my family it cures and works for so many things. I also enjoy trying out these recipes and my kids love it that I am getting good at cooking and meal preparation.
