Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons grape seed oil
  • 1 teaspoon red curry paste
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ cup peanut butter or other nut butter
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • ¾ cup water
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon organic sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add curry paste and turmeric, and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and stir until thickened.
  2. Add more water as needed to reach desired consistency. As sauce sits, it will thicken, so you may need to add more water if you reheat it.
