Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 c Thai Red curry paste 
  • 2 cans (14 ounce) coconut milk  
  • 12 c low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 Tbsp creamy peanut butter 
  • 4 c cubed butternut squash or 1 pound shrimp or 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 stick cinnamon 
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 2 c shredded kale
  • 1 pound wide noodles or 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1/4 c fresh cilantro or basil, roughly chopped

Instructions

1. In the bowl of your slow cooker, combine together the curry paste, coconut milk, 1 c broth, and peanut butter. Add the butternut squash, cinnamon, ginger, and lime juice. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.

2. Stir the kale into the curry and cook 5 minutes until wilted. Stir in the cilantro (or basil). If the curry is too thick, you can add broth to thin it out.

3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the noodles or cook rice according to package directions.

4. To serve, divide the noodles/rice among bowls and spoon the curry overtop. Top with cilantro. Bon Appétit!
