Ingredients
  

Red Thai Curry Broth

  • 5 cups water
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3-4 tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • 1 tsp organic sugar

Risotto

  • 1 ½ cups arborio rice
  • 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp ginger, minced
  • ½ lime juiced
  • 1 Thai chili, thinly sliced (optional, Thai chilis are quite spicy)

Garnishes

Instructions
 

  • Make the broth by adding water, Thai red curry paste, soy sauce, and sugar to pot and bring to a boil. Cover and set aside.
  • Using another medium-large pot, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add the shallot, and stir frequently until it is translucent.
  • Add the garlic, red chili, and ginger stir, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the rice, stir and toast for 1-2 minutes, until aromatic. Then, add the lime juice and stir until absorbed.
  • Add 1 cup of the hot stock and stir to combine. Stir frequently, until the stock is fully absorbed by the rice.
  • Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, and stirring constantly until it's absorbed. This will take about 15-20 minutes for the rice to fully cook. There may be some leftover broth.
  • When the rice is al dente, remove from heat and top with coconut cream, a lime wedge, and fresh cilantro. Serve, and enjoy!
