I try to experiment with different ethnic foods. I have a Pad Thai salad that I really like, a Thai chicken coconut soup (stay tuned!) and this.  Red curry paste is available online from gourmet kosher markets.

2 tablespoons oil

1 onion, chopped

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 pound ground beef

1 teaspoon red curry paste

1 cup tomato sauce

½ cup coconut milk

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 teaspoons salt

Chopped cilantro for garnish, if desired

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onion, garlic and bee and sauté until lightly browned.  Stir in curry paste and tomato sauce.  Cook for 2 minutes, then add remaining ingredients.  Continue cooking until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes longer. Garnish with cilantro (if using) and serve over rice.
