Easy Veggie Thai Green Curry – Slow Cooker

Needing easy dinner inspiration? This dish is as easy as chucking everything in a pot and leaving it to do all the hard work while you get on with your day. Dicing the spuds is the only taxing bit, we’ve scrubbed off the dirt and left the skins on for more fibre and nutrition and it cuts down on the work too. We love a Thai green curry and this packet of organic paste is great to add in, its got bags of flavour.

Curries are great because you can add in whatever is in season, carrots, squash, courgettes, spinach and aubergines would work perfectly in here too.

We love our own Galway grown spuds and kale, so delicious in this curry, try them yourself and see.
