Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups diced eggplant (1/2-inch dice)
  • 1/2 cup chopped white onions
  • 1 cup thinly sliced green bell peppers
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons Thai green curry paste, depending on desired degree of heat
  • 6 Kaffir lime leaves, or 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons nam pla (Thai fish sauce)
  • 1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 cup shrimp stock, fish stock or bottled clam juice

Directions

In a wok or large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant, onions and bell pepper and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.

    This is a very nice green curry. I used chicken and chicken stock since I didn't have any shrimp on hand. It really does rate 5 -----don't be turned away because of "gleebergloben" . Not to be glib, Gleeb, but just learn how to cook. Let the shrimp simmer a bit longer rather than you coming to a "full boil".

    This was delish and quite simple to prepare. I suggest using half the liquids stated in the recipe if you are looking for a less soupy effect. I also added some thinly sliced lemongrass and subbed green peppers for jalapenos for a kick. I served it with Japanese noodles to soak up the flavors that were tossed with garlic and baby Bok Choi. What a delight!

    This recipe was AMAZING! My husband even made the comment that he'd pay to eat this at a resturaunt : There were left-overs which we ate 2 days later and it only got better. I can't wait to make this again!
