Thai red curry paste adds Southeast Asian heat and zest to ground pork. Asian Home Gourmet paste is milder than other brands. Or you can adjust the amount to suit your spice tolerance. No lemongrass? Check the produce section for Gourmet Garden Squeezable Fresh Lemongrass or substitute 1/2 tsp (2 mL) grated lime rind.

1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped fresh coriander
1/4 cup (50 mL) finely chopped peanuts
