Ingredients for Green Curry

  • 2 cartons of coconut milk
  • Small cup of stock
  • Package of green curry spice paste (I use Fairtrade Original, as shown)
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • Piece of fresh ginger (about 3 cm), grated
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 bags of pumpkin pieces (or cube a whole pumpkin)
  • 1 onion
  • 1 bell pepper
  • Splash of soy sauce
  • 1 red pepper
  • Fresh coriander (for garnish)
  • Silver rice

How to Prepare Slow Cooker Green Curry

Add pumpkin to the slow cooker. Chop bell pepper and onion, then layer them in. Squeeze in garlic, pour over stock and soy sauce. Grate ginger over veggies, stir in curry paste.

Clean chicken breasts and place on top with whole red pepper—no need to submerge fully, as moisture builds naturally. Cover and cook on low (setting 1) for 7-8 hours.

30 minutes before done, stir in 2 cartons coconut milk for creaminess. Drain excess liquid if needed beforehand. Cook rice and prep fresh coriander. Serve hot and enjoy!
