Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
- Wash the red peppers, remove the seeds, and slice them into thin strips.
- Rinse the spinach and set it aside to dry.
- In a large pan or wok, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is lightly browned on all sides.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the red curry paste to the pan. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the paste.
- Add the sliced red peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the peppers begin to soften.
- Pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine with the curry paste and vegetables.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the peppers are tender.
- Add the spinach to the pan and stir it into the curry. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender.
- Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning, adding salt, pepper, or a dash of fish sauce to taste if desired.
- Serve the red chicken curry over steamed jasmine rice or with warm naan bread.
Tips:
- Tip 1: To enhance the flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in a bit of the curry paste and some salt for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Tip 2: For a richer taste, use full-fat coconut milk.
- Tip 3: When cooking the spinach, add it at the very end to preserve its bright color and nutrients.
- Tip 4: Adjust the amount of curry paste based on your heat preference. Start with less if you prefer a milder flavor and add more as needed.
- Tip 5: Serve this curry with jasmine rice or naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
