Ingredients | Banana Tree Thai Green Curry

2 large shallots, peeled and quartered

10 Thai bird's eye chile peppers, seeded and chopped

2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

½ bunch fresh cilantro

½ bunch fresh basil

2 cloves garlic, peeled and halved

1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced

2 limes, zested and juiced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon sesame oil

1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed

2 boneless chicken breasts, cubed

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

1 cup chicken broth

2 kaffir lime leaves

Directions

Combine shallots, bird's eye chile peppers, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, basil, garlic, ginger, lime juice, lime zest, lime flesh, lemon juice, sesame oil, and pepper in a food processor. Process, adding enough olive oil to make a paste that is thick but not thick enough to form peaks when you stir it.

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and fry curry paste, stirring constantly, until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until chicken has sealed on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Pour coconut milk and chicken stock into the saucepan with the chicken; mix well. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until liquid has reduced to a thick sauce that clings to a spoon, 20 to 30 minutes. Add kaffir lime leaves and simmer for 1 more minute.

Use galangal in place of the ginger, if you can find it.

You can use 1 medium onion in place of the shallots.

With regards to the bird's eye chile pepper amount - I like it EXTREMELY hot. Bear in mind that the coconut milk will take out some of the sting of the bird's eye chile peppers, so use 1 or 2 more than you would normally use for yourself. Same goes for the jalapeno chile peppers. You can leave them out if you don't like it that spicy.
