Thai Inspired Peanut Curry is a healthy, delicious and easy dinner that makes the most of the late summer harvest while welcoming the brisker chill of fall. Affiliate links have been used to link to items I am discussing in this post.
There are many reasons I love fall the best. Football (Go Blue!). Sweaters. Jeans. My birthday month (September). The Holidays. Baking. But there is one reason that often gets overlooked because it is a little more subtle. When the weather cools off, but has not yet frozen, suddenly you have at your fingertips the “summer’s” bounty to use in cooler weather cooking. Curries, stews and casseroles that are full of delicious veggies straight from your garden or maybe a nearby farmer’s garden. Heaven. This Thai Inspired Peanut Curry is one such dish.
Because it uses ground beef, this curry is also super simple and fast cooking. And if any vegetable that I have used or not used does or does not sound good to you, leave it out or try it (holy wow did that sentence even make sense?). What I mean is, this dish is flexible. I could easily see mushrooms in it. I meant to add cherry tomatoes and forgot. Have some greens or root veggies to use up? Throw ’em in! Thai Inspired Peanut Curry makes no pretensions to authenticity, which makes it a great blank slate for playing.
We adored this dish, the entire family. If you are curious, the above picture is how my children prefer their rice dishes. I actually do not think it is because they are nervous of the curry or avoiding it (although it may have started that way). I think it is because they love plain rice so much that they prefer to eat the curry plain! Yes, crazy, I know. But everybody had seconds, and maybe even thirds. It was a perfect early September dish, especially with the brisk weather we have been having. Bring on fall!
