Pairing: Spicy Thai curry

Recipe

Ingredients

  • Chicken or Shrimp: 1 pound, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Curry Paste: 2-3 tablespoons red or green Thai curry paste
  • Coconut Milk: 1 can (14 oz)
  • Vegetables: 1 bell pepper, 1 zucchini, sliced
  • Herbs: Fresh basil or cilantro for garnish
  • Seasonings: Fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar to taste
  • Optional: Thai chilies for added heat

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Protein and Vegetables: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the chicken or shrimp and cook until just opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Cook the Curry Paste: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and then the curry paste. Stir-fry for about a minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Add Coconut Milk and Simmer: Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the vegetables and cook until they are tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Finish the Dish: Return the chicken or shrimp to the pan. Season with fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar to taste. Let simmer for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or cilantro and serve hot with jasmine rice.
  6. Wine Pairing: Pair your spicy Thai curry with an off-dry Riesling or Gewürztraminer to balance the heat and enhance the dish’s flavors. For a sparkling option, Champagne or Prosecco provides a refreshing contrast and helps cleanse the palate between bites
