Panang curry is one of the most popular Thai dishes and is wonderfully vegan-friendly. The base is red curry paste with roasted peanuts, which gives the dish its characteristic nutty flavor. Creamy coconut milk softens the heat and makes the curry pleasantly smooth. The beauty of this recipe is that it can be varied with any vegetable or plant-based protein. Carrots, bell peppers, and green beans add color and bite, while tofu or meat substitutes provide the necessary satiety. A squeeze of lime juice at the end adds the fresh touch that characterizes Thai cuisine. In just 30 minutes, you have a restaurant-worthy dish on the table that will evoke memories of any Thailand vacation.
