We love this dish.  The sauce is magic! Use whichever vegetables you prefer.  Thai red curry paste can differ greatly in its heat so taste before adding more. And if you are lucky enough to have a banana tree, try using a young leaf as a plate like they do in Asia – definitely biodegradable 🙂

• 1-2 yellow onions, thickly chopped
