Easy, delicious green curry that you can make at home? Yes, please! This Thai Green Curry is a delicious meal that is very easy to adapt to your family's tastes and preferences! First we start out with a mildly spicy and herby curry that features as much spiciness as you would like. The spice is soothed by creamy coconut and boosted with the fresh flavors of coriander, lemon and lime.


I served this green curry with rabbit and vegetables, but you could easily and deliciously serve it with chicken, fish, seafood, pork, beef or even tofu! I also like to serve this with jasmine rice, or any rice you have on hand.

Delicious Thai Green Curry! And it is easy to change the protein and vegetables to suit your tastes/ what you have on hand!

First you start by making the herb mixture, then cook the green curry sauce.

Saute onions and whole garlic cloves on your stove top until they get some nice color.

Add diced celeriac (or potatoes) and pour curry sauce over. Add protein of choice and bake in oven.

I used hare, since that is what I had to use up. But chicken, turkey, beef, pork, seared tofu, ect... would all be delicious!

I served this Thai Green Curry with a selection of roasted and steamed vegetables, roast hare, and jasmine rice.

    This looks very good. Doesn't "green curry" usually involve BASIL in the mix?
