The flavors in curry can take you to faraway places right in your own kitchen. This super easy recipe will have you on a culinary journey in a snap! Approved by Dan & Jill. ;)
Ingredients:
1 – pound Ground Buffalo Meat
2 – tablespoons olive oil
3 – tablespoons red curry paste
3 – tablespoons water
1 – onion, chopped
5 – mini red peppers, sliced
2 – tablespoons fish sauce
1 – can coconut milk
½ - cup cilantro, chopped

2 – teaspoons lemongrass paste
Chopped peanuts
Cilantro and/or fresh basil, chopped
Jasmine or Basmati rice
Preparation:
- In a heavy skillet or wok, over medium high heat add oil and crumble in the ground buffalo meat. Push around the pan occasionally to brown.
- Halfway through browning the meat, mix the curry paste with the water and drizzle over the meat.
- Add the chopped onion and stir to incorporate and continue to cook until the meat is nicely browned and onions are al dente.
- Add the sliced red peppers and stir to incorporate.
- Deglaze with the fish sauce, then add the coconut milk, lemongrass paste and ginger.

Jill – Terrific dish, terrific flavor, but how can you go wrong with buffalo and coconut milk? Question: the ingredients list does not specify the kind of red mini-pepper. I used the only red pepper -sweet bell – I had on hand, but it left the dish lacking the kind of fire I’m accustomed to in Thai cooking. Do you have in mind the Thai red pepper? That’s what I think I’ll try next time (this Sunday).

Thank you Heather!
Hi Bob. I used organic sweet mini peppers, but adding a few (or to your liking) Thai red peppers would add some nice heat. I will give that a try myself next time. Otherwise – I sprinkle on a little chili flake. :)
