I made these on a whim the other night and Justin took them to his rotation with him. I guess he shared a bite with friends and they really wanted the recipe! So here you go!

This copy is really short because I don’t really have a whole lot to say about these, besides that they are tasty, and they’ll feed you for a couple of days! I’ll be honest, I’m pretty sure the curry paste I found in the fridge was probably waaaay past its prime. But…we didn’t die, so that’s a win.

Local Spotlight: The garlic, onions and chicken are from the farmers market. Green onions are from the backyard. I made my own almond butter with this method!
