Ingredients
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
3/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon raw sugar
4 cloves garlic
1 green Thai chile
One 1-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled
1 stalk lemongrass, tough outer layers removed, sliced
Juice of 1 lime
1 shallot, halved
Freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 cups organic chicken or vegetable stock
2 fresh kaffir lime leaves
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced

Directions
- Combine the basil, cilantro, 1/4 cup coconut milk, the fish sauce, soy sauce, coriander, cumin, sugar, garlic, chile, ginger, lemongrass, lime juice, shallot and some black pepper in a food processor. Blend until a paste forms.
- Heat the canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the curry paste and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the stock and kaffir lime leaves and bring to a boil.
