Gluten-Free Pork Curry
Pork is one of those foods that goes well with sweet, savory, or spicy flavors. It is so versatile and wholesome and pairs well with a myriad of ingredients.
Take this Gluten-Free Pork Curry recipe, for example. It uses coconut milk and SunButter for a delicious combination of sweet and salty flavor, plus cayenne pepper for spice and curry powder for savory. The result is a dish that’s a little spicy, a little sweet, and overall, very well balanced. I like to serve mine over cooked jasmine rice or white rice with sliced raw peppers on top, cilantro, a squeeze of lime and some sriracha. Delicious! Or better yet, serve it with a simple raita, which is similar to tzatziki sauce. See my recipe for that below.
This meal is not just flavorful, but it’s really easy to make and doesn’t take a lot of time, so if you’re looking for something to whip up for dinner tonight, this might just be an excellent choice!
