My recipe provides a lot of sweet heat. The mango and coconut milk taste tropical and the curry paste adds a little fire. It’s a perfect dish to spice up the traditional offerings of the season. To make a milder dish, just reduce the amount of curry paste. —Terri Lynn Merritts, Nashville, Tennessee

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2-1/2 cups coconut milk

  • 1 cup dried mango, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  1. In a Dutch oven, heat peanut oil over low heat. Add curry paste; cook and stir 3-5 minutes. Add coconut milk; cook and stir 3-5 minutes longer.
