Simple green curry paste

It's Monday, you're tired from the start of another workweek, you're short on time, you need to get the kid(s) fed so you can put in some quality time before bed, but you still want something satisfying and delicious for dinner. What do you do? Well, you can start by whipping up this green curry paste. It's quick, it's tasty, and it has a little spinach thrown in, the addition of which simultaneously turbocharges the colour while sneaking in a little healthy goodness. Just mix it in a pan with some coconut milk, a spoonful or two of palm sugar, your protein of choice, and a little leafy veg, and you're done.
A little note about the below recipe...which isn't really a recipe as much as a guideline. Honestly, I didn't keep super-close track of the ingredients, so play with the quantities however you like and make the curry you want to eat. It'll still be delicious.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put all the ingredients (except for the whites of the green onions which you can save for garnish, and half the lime juice which you can save for finishing) into a food processor or blender. Add a few glugs of veg oil and blitz well. You should end up with about a cup of something resembling runny, pureed pesto.
- 2
Use the paste as needed, such as in the salmon curry pictured. You can adjust the saltiness/sweetness/tanginess of the dish during cooking, by adding extra fish sauce/sugar/lime juice as needed.
