Check out this Thai green curry avocado toast recipe
Thai green curry avocado toast combines Thailand's spicy flavors with the creamy texture of avocado on toast. Originating from traditional Thai green curry, this version is adapted into a vegetarian and eggless dish suitable for quick meals or exotic breakfasts. It presents a modern twist on classic flavors, bringing a piece of Southeast Asia to your kitchen. Let's get cooking.
Gather the following ingredients
To make this dish, you will need two ripe avocados, four slices of your favorite bread (whole grain works well), one tablespoon Thai green curry paste, one can (13 ounces) coconut milk, one tablespoon olive oil, salt to taste, and fresh cilantro for garnish. Optional additions include sliced red bell pepper and tofu cubes for extra texture and protein.
Prepare the green curry paste
Start by heating one tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the Thai green curry paste to the pan and fry it gently for about two minutes until it becomes aromatic. This process helps release the flavors locked in the paste. Be careful not to burn it; you're aiming for a fragrant base for your sauce.
Cook with coconut milk
Pour the can of coconut milk into the pan with the fried curry paste. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about five minutes or until slightly thickened. If using, add sliced red bell pepper and tofu cubes at this stage and cook until they are soft but not mushy.
Prepare avocado toast
As your green curry sauce gently simmers, toast your bread slices to achieve your desired crispness. In a bowl, mash two ripe avocados with a fork to a smooth yet slightly chunky texture. Then, spread this mashed avocado evenly over each slice of the toasted bread, creating a generous layer of creamy avocado on each piece.
Assemble your dish
Once your green curry sauce has thickened, generously spoon it over each avocado toast slice. The warm, spicy sauce and cool, creamy avocado offer a delightful flavor contrast. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve immediately. This dish is not only simple to prepare but also adds an exciting twist to traditional meals, perfect for those exploring international vegetarian flavors.
