This recipe comes from one of my writing friends and an ardent devotee of Healthy Journey Cafe. Don't be afraid of curry. This dish is not hot unless you want to add some heat with a little Sambal chili paste or red chili flakes. Thanks Stephanie!

Looks good! In other news, my holistic practitioner wants me to go completely paleo (no grains or beans; just lean protein, starches, and non-starchy veg) but I think I want to get some tests run first for other food sensitivities. That would only leave me nuts,turkey, shrimp and fish as protein sources since I gave up red meat long ago. Never really liked red meat, and it doesn't like me!
ReplyDeleteExcept for the quinoa, I assume you could do the Green Curry recipe on the paleo diet. Can you do eggs?
ReplyDeleteChris, this blog is wonderful. Great pictures and recipes. You should write a cookbook! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue. That's funny about the cookbook. I'm one who doesn't use recipes much and mostly make stuff up with what I have in the fridge/pantry.
