Thai-inspired red curry paste filled with lemongrass, ginger, garlic, and the perfect amount of curry spices. It's effortless. It's made in a food processor!

Instructions
Add all of the ingredients into the food processor and blend until the desired consistency is met. Scrape down the sides halfway through to catch any ingredients that failed to hit the blade. I like to process for a good minute. The longer you process, the creamier + more concentrated it will be.
When ready, transfer the paste to a jar with a lid and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. (see notes)
Notes
How long does this homemade red curry paste last? I would not enjoy it any longer than 5 days. Top the paste with a drizzle of olive oil for optimal freshness. Yields 8 servings | 1 serving is 1 tbsp
