Ingredients
- 13 medium-size red fingerling peppers stems removes, seeds removed optionally.
- 1 3-inch piece of lemongrass slice in half to help the blender process it easier.
- 1 thumb of ginger about 1 tbsp chopped
- 2 stalks of green onions cut in half
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp yellow curry powder
- 1 tbsp tamari coconut aminos, or soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients into the food processor and blend until the desired consistency is met.
- Scrape down the sides halfway through to catch any ingredients that failed to hit the blade. I like to process for a good minute. The longer you process, the creamier and more concentrated it will be.
- When ready, transfer the paste to a jar with a lid and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. (see notes)

Notes
- How long does this homemade red curry paste last?
- I would not use it any longer than 5 days. Top the paste with a drizzle of olive oil for optimal freshness.
- Yields 8 servings | 1 serving is 1 tbsp
