The Thai word for Green Curry (แกงเขียวหวาน) actually translates to “Sweet Green Curry”, but that doesn’t imply that this dish is sweet. Instead, “sweet green” means “light green” in Thai. While the idea of making curry from scratch may be initially daunting, nothing could be further from the truth. My curry paste has quite a few ingredients, but all you do is basically throw them all together and purée; the paste will keep for a month in the fridge and there’s enough paste to make three curries.

Tagines are earthen-made cookware used in the cuisines of Northern Africa, Morocco, and Cypress. The special, conical lid to the vessel helps to return steam condensation back into the dish - keeping meat juicy and infusing extra flavor.
