One 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk

• 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon green curry paste
• 2 1/2 teaspoons Asian fish sauce
• 3 pounds skinless chicken thighs

1. 1. In a slow cooker, mix the coconut milk with the ginger, 1 tablespoon of the green curry paste and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the fish sauce. Add the chicken thighs and onion, cover and cook on low heat for 2 1/2 hours, until the chicken is tender. Add the potatoes and tomatoes, cover and cook on low for 1 hour longer, until the potatoes are tender.
