This is an amazing recipe that was passed along from a close friend about 15 years ago. It not only tastes so good with the spiciness and the sweetness of the pineapple. It’s also so quick to make … about 30 minutes.
It can be hard to find gluten free curries but Thai Kitchen is gluten free, vegan and very good so this is what we use.
