Low Carb Thai Red Curry
This flavorful curry is perfect for a satisfying and low-carb meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2-4 tablespoons red curry paste (depending on spice preference)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange), sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- ½ cup sugar snap peas, halved (optional)
- ½ cup green beans, trimmed and halved (optional)
- ½ lime, juiced (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cooking Guide:
-
Heat coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the red curry paste, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
-
Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer.
-
Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until almost cooked through.
-
Stir in the bell pepper, broccoli, sugar snap peas (if using), and green beans (if using). Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
-
Season with lime juice (if using), salt, and pepper to taste.
-
Serve immediately over cauliflower rice (recipe below) or with a side of steamed leafy greens like spinach or kale. Garnish with fresh cilantro (if using).
Tips:
- For a spicier curry, use more red curry paste or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute other low-carb vegetables for the bell pepper, broccoli, sugar snap peas, and green beans. Some good options include zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus, and eggplant.
- To make cauliflower rice, simply pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. You can then cook the cauliflower rice in a pan with a little bit of oil or butter until tender.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
