Green Curry Vegetarian Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pasta pot filled with salted water to a boil. Set up a large ice bath alongside. Blanch the broccoli and cauliflower in the boiling water until they have softened slightly and the broccoli is bright green, 2 minutes. Remove the vegetables to the ice bath. Add the snap peas to the boiling water and blanch until bright green, 1 minutes. Remove to the ice bath.
• Drain the blanched vegetables on a large baking sheet lined with paper towels, patting them dry to remove excess water. Cut the snap peas in half crosswise, put them in a large bowl and set aside.
• Heat the canola oil in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and 1 tablespoon green curry paste and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the paste. Stir in the broccoli, cauliflower and carrots and simmer for 7 or 8 minutes, to meld the flavors and finish cooking the vegetables.
• Next, stir in the cabbage and lime juice; cook until the cabbage is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt. If you prefer more spice, add another tablespoon of curry paste and cook another 3 minutes, stirring. When you are happy with the flavor, remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
• To serve, gently fold in the avocado and garnish with scallion greens. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Open the can of coconut milk without shaking it. Spoon 6 tablespoons of the coconut cream from the top of the can into a medium saucepan. Pour remaining contents of can into a medium bowl, and mix well. In a medium bowl, combine vegetable stock, soy sauce, and palm or brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
• Place saucepan of coconut cream over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble. Add curry paste and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir constantly until very fragrant, about 3 minutes; adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. Add onion, red pepper, zucchini, sweet potato, bamboo shoots, green beans, and eggplant. Stir until vegetables are hot, 2-3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add the soy sauce mixture and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice to taste; you may use the juice of an entire lime. Stir and mix well. Add up to 1/4 cup water if the curry seems too thick.
• To serve, place the curry in a warm serving bowl and garnish with the basil chiffonade. If desired, serve over jasmine rice.
