Thai Green Curry Paste

September 5, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

This curry paste is certainly not for the faint of heart!  I find it to be the hottest of the Thai curry pastes. The heat comes from the use of about 15 fresh green bird’s eye chilies.  More layers of flavor are gleaned from adding shallots, ginger, lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime peel.  Kaffir limes and the…

Thai Yellow Curry Paste

August 5, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

This is a recipe for an authentic Yellow Curry Paste, learned while staying in Thailand.  It makes enough for about 6-8 curries, depending on how much paste you like to use in your curries.  More paste = spicier flavor!   One you have mastered this easy paste, I guarantee that you will never go back to…

Caesar Salad Dressing

June 24, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

It’s so, so easy to make salad dressings – I never buy them any more.  Why waste money and eat a whole bunch of extra additives and sugar, when you can whip up a dressing in under 5 minutes and know exactly what’s going into it?  You control the fat; you control the sugar content….

Thai Red Curry Paste

May 5, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

Learned while staying in Thailand, this Red Thai Curry Paste is spicy and aromatic.  It uses whole dried red chilies, as well as fresh red bird’s eye chiles for extra spice.  I usually add both types, each gives a slightly different favor, as well as an increased heat level.  You can use the seeds as well…

Thai Penang Curry Paste

May 5, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

Penang curry is one of the more lightly-spiced Thai curries.  I love the nutty, slightly sweet flavor.  This paste has two types of chilies, plus kaffir lime peel – as well as the  leaves.  Finally, the addition of  ground peanuts rounds out the flavors.  More peanuts are then added during the actual curry-making process.  All…

HARISSA PASTE

April 2, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

Harissa is a hot paste and condiment used in North African Regions, including Tunisia and Algeria, as well as in Israel – although it is probably best known for its use in Moroccan food.  There are many different plays on the paste – from smoky and sweet, to hot and fiery. This Moroccan-inspired paste is a…
