Thai Pork and Cashew Red Curry

Anytime I go out to a Thai restaurant I face a dilemma. I know that I will get a curry dish, but struggle to decide whether it will be a green curry or red curry. Both are delicious and each have their own unique flavour.

Generally, I prefer green curry with chicken and red curry with seafood. Mussels in a red curry sauce is just incredible. For this dish, pork is the protein and the rich flavour of  of a red curry sauce works perfect with this cut of meat.

I cubed up a couple pork tenderloins but really an cut of pork can work. Just cut the pork into 1 inch cubes and they are ready for the dish. While I included zucchini, carrots, peppers and onions in this recipe, there are so many options for vegetables that be used.

This dish is super simple to make and tastes as good as any restaurant red curry. While I know some people make their own red curry paste, I personally find it easier to use store-bought and the taste is just amazing. A jar of red curry paste and a couple cans of coconut milk stored on a shelf in the pantry is a must for me. That way any time the craving hits me, I can make this dish.
