I felt creative today and thought up another flavor for guacamole and it was THAI STYLE GREEN CURRY!!!! So if you are a fan of Thai Green Curry then you should be a fan of this Thai Style Green Curry Guacamole. It’s very easy to prepare but you do need some of the ingredients that you would use to make Thai Green Curry…….I used two large ripe avocados. I’m figuring 1/2 an avocado a person so that should be around 4 portions but it could run significantly less because you will probably want to eat half…..

Ingredients for around 3 portions.

2 large avocados

2 Tablespoons green curry paste

4 bigger pieces crystallized ginger – chopped fine

2 garlic cloves – ground to paste

1 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract

1/8 cup lime juice

1 Tablespoon rice vinegar

1 Thai chili – fine copped

1/3 cup scallions – sliced thin

1 shallot – sliced thin and chopped

1/3 red bell pepper – sliced thin and chopped

1/4 cup basil – chopped or torn (you should use Thai Basil but regular basil is better than no basil)

1 1/2 teaspoons Golden Mountain Seasoning sauce Tuong Gia Vi – It’s sold in most Asian Grocery Stores.

2 teaspoons lemongrass powder

3 Tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut (to finish)

Directions

In a medium sized bowl add everything except the avocado and shredded coconut (green curry paste, crystalised ginger, garlic, coconut extract, lime juice, rice vinegar, Thai chili, scallions, shallot, red pepper, basil, lemongrass powder, Golden Mountain sauce). Mix well. Now add the avocado in chunks. Mix till incorporated. Try to leave it a little chunky. Top with shredded coconut.

I think it would be delicious dip with crispy chicken dumplings. It’s also great with regular chips.

ENJOY!!!!
