Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons of the thick coconut cream on high for about 1 minute, then add the oil. When the cream starts to sizzle, stir the curry paste into the cream like building a roux. Stir-fry the paste for about 1 minute, until the paste starts to thicken, dry out and become fragrant. If the curry starts to sputter, add a small amount of coconut milk and/or oil to keep the paste moving. Cook the paste until it has the consistency of peanut butter.
- Stir the sweet potato cubes, onion, basil, half of the lime leaves and remaining coconut milk into the curry paste. Increase the heat to high until you reach a full rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let the curry simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Also check that the curry is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
- Add the chicken. Let this simmer for 5 to 7 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the fish sauce, sugar and tamarind. Add the bell pepper strips and turn off the heat. Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with the Thai basil, remaining lime leaves and diced bell pepper.

THAI GREEN CHICKEN CURRY IN A SLOW COOKER
Steps:
- Tip the chicken chunks into the slow cooker along with the potatoes, carrot, capsicum, zucchini, mushrooms and chilli. Mix the curry paste with the coconut milk and pour this into the pot. Stir all the ingredients together mixing together well. Put the slow cooker on for 4 hours and 10 minutes. Our slow cooker only has one setting while some others can be set to low, medium and high. I would imagine that you would want to set your cooker to medium. Forty-five minutes before the end of cooking time, add the snow peas, baby peas and cashews. Serve with rice and topped with some sprigs of coriander if you like.

Steps:
- 1. Carefully spoon off about 1 cup of the top layer of cream from one can of coconut milk -- this layer will be thick and possibly solid. Place the coconut cream and curry paste in a large Dutch oven and bring to a simmer over high heat, whisking to blend, about 2 minutes. Maintain this brisk simmer and whisk frequently until almost all of the liquid evaporates, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-high and whisk constantly until the cream separates into a puddle of colored oil and coconut solids, 3 to 8 minutes. (You should hear the curry paste starting to fry in the oil.) Continue cooking until the curry paste is very aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. 2. Whisk in the remaining coconut milk, the fish sauce, and the brown sugar. Bring back to a brisk simmer and cook until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season the chicken with salt and add it to the pot, stirring until the pieces are separated and evenly coated with the sauce, about 1 minute. Stir in the broccoli and mushrooms and bring back to a brisk simmer over medium heat. Cook until the vegetables are almost tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and fresh chile, if using, and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice, basil, and mint. Serve immediately.

THAI GREEN CURRY CHICKEN
Steps:
- To make the Green Curry Paste: In a food processor, combine the peppers, shallot, lemon grass and fresh ginger, and pulse to roughly chop. Add in anchovy paste, spices and oil and puree to form a paste.
- In a large heavy pan over medium-high heat, add the oil and 3 tablespoons of the green curry paste. Stir rapidly for 1 minute, then slowly add the coconut milk. Stir for 2 minutes and bring to a boil. Add in the peppers and onions, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
- In a large measuring cup, combine lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Slowly pour into simmering coconut mixture. Add in the chicken pieces and bring to a low boil. Simmer for 25 minutes, adjusting with additional curry powder, curry paste, and salt, if needed.
- To serve: Serve rice in individual bowls, top with curry, then garnish with your choice of toppings.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the pears and garlic cloves to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, 1 teaspoon of the red pepper flakes, salt and lemon juice in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pears and toss to evenly coat. Arrange pears cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Flip pears over and pour a little bit of the maple syrup into each divot where the core was removed. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes more, then remove to a cutting board and let cool. When cool enough to handle, peel and dice.
- While the pears are cooling, combine the remaining ingredients in a small nonreactive saucepan, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Combine the pears and the sauce and refrigerate in a covered container for 24 hours, and up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Scoop the rich cream that has risen to the top of the coconut milk into a bowl.
- Cook and stir four spoons of coconut cream in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until the coconut oil begins to separate (some browning is okay).
- Add lime leaves, fresh chilies (cut in half lengthways) and green curry paste to the coconut cream and cook until fragrant and well mixed (about one to two minutes).
- Add chicken pieces and stir well to coat them with the paste.
- Continue to cook to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken but do not allow the paste to scorch.
- Add coconut milk, the rest of the coconut cream, the fish sauce, the sugar and a pinch of salt.
- Stir and bring the curry to a boil before reducing heat to a simmer and cooking uncovered for 15 minutes.
- Cut vegetables into bite-sized pieces and start adding the ones which require the longest cooking, so that when you finish cooking the dish all the vegetables will be evenly cooked and look their best.
- Correct the seasoning: Taste the sauce and add sugar, fish sauce, chilies or salt to suit your taste.
- Stir in the whole basil leaves, garnish and serve.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your curry the best flavor. If possible, use fresh coconut milk, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and green chilies.
- Don't Be Afraid of Heat: Green curry is a spicy dish, so don't be afraid to add some heat. Use a combination of green chilies, red chili paste, and ginger to create a flavorful and spicy curry.
- Simmer, Don't Boil: Once you add the coconut milk, bring the curry to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the curry for at least 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have had a chance to meld.
- Serve with Rice: Green curry is traditionally served with rice. Jasmine rice is a good choice, as it has a light and fluffy texture that pairs well with the curry.
Conclusion:
Thai green curry chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home.
