A spicy yet light and tasty dish.  This classic Thai green curry dish will delight your taste buds and excite your pallet.  A combination of traditional Thai ingredients, this dish combines green curry with coconut milk and kaffir lime leaves.  Extremely delicious.

2 cups light coconut milk
8 kaffir lime leaves, specialty stores

Serves 4

*If you can’t find green peppercorns in brine just take green peppercorns and pour white wine vinegar over them and let them sit in the refrigerator covered for about a week.

*Any oil with a high smoking point such as avocado, grape seed, sunflower or safflower will work.

* I used 3 tablespoons of curry paste and it was very spicy.  Only use 2 if you want it medium spicy. Start out with 2 tablespoons and taste the curry.  Curries vary in heat so taste first and then add more if desired.

*You can find kaffir lime leaves in Asian markets.
