      Title: CURRY SPICE PASTE
 Categories: Herb/spices, Thailand, Thai
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      5 sm Dried red chilies with
           Their seeds, broken into
           Small pieces OR
      1 ts Cayenne pepper
      1 ts Heaping whole black
           Peppercorns OR
      1 ts Ground black pepper
      1 tb Heaping whole coriander
           Seeds OR
      1 tb Ground coriander
      1 ts Heaping whole caraway
           Seeds OR
      1 ts Ground caraway
    1/2    Lemon's zest, minced
      2    Inch piece ginger root,
           Peeled and minced
      8 cl Garlic, peeled and minced
      4    Shallots, peeled and
           Minced
      1 ts Anchovy paste
      6    Sprigs coriander, finely
           Chopped
      1 ts Salt
      3 tb Vegetable oil
 
  Grind the whole spices and add any ground ones.  Into a food
  processor, pour the mixture and add the remaining ingredients (except
  for 1 tablespoon of the oil. Grind as fine as possible. Using a
  spatula, transfer the paste to a jar and pour in the last tablespoon
  of oil. Cap tightly and refrigerate until needed. Keeps 2 months in
  the refrigerator. Makes approximately 8 ounces.
  
  NOTES:  Although substitutions for hard-to-find ingredients have been
  made,
        this curry paste still carries the true flavor of Thailand. Use
  it in
        Thai curries unless otherwise specified.  A little added to
  stir-fry
        dishes or rubbed into chicken as a marinade before barbequing or
        grilling will add a real Thai accent.  A teaspoon added to a
  meatloaf
        mixture or meat balls, transforms them into something that is
  rather
        exotic, and when combined with peanut butter and coconut milk,
  it
        makes a tangy and aromatic sauce for Thai-style satays.
  
        Use whole spices whenever possible.  Anchovy fillets may be
        substituted for the anchovy paste.  Shallots are preferable to
  onions;
        if not available, use an equal amount of a red onion.
