Thai Coconut Fish Curry

Don’t put that slow cooker away for the summer. There are lots of great lighter fair recipes that you can make that also won’t heat up the kitchen, like this Thai Coconut Fish Curry. The cookbook we have for you today is The Healthy Slow Cooker, 135 Gluten-Free Recipes for Health and Wellness by Judith Finlayson and when you are tired of BBQ pull that slow cooker back out!!

I choose this recipe as it was very simple and I love the flavors of Thai. At the last moment most of the ingredients are added and cooked giving you a delicious and easy Thai meal.

Each recipe in this cookbook features a detailed nutritional analysis. There are sections throughout the cookbook called Natural Wonders that contain information on diet and health, a gorgeous and informative read from cover to cover.

There are well photographed pictures throughout highlighting scrumptious recipes like Creamy Morning Millet with Apples or Sumptuous Spinach and Artichoke Dip or Shrimp and Grits or Syracuse Sauce. All done in the slow cooker, all done gluten free and lightened up. I will be making more from this cookbook for sure!!

She writes about this recipe: This luscious dish has everything going for it: a centerpiece of succulent fish, a sauce of creamy coconut accented with zesty Asian flavors and an abundance of tasty vegetables to complement the mix. Serve this over brown basmati rice to add nutrients and fiber and complete the meal.
