Green Thai Curry
GREEN THAI CURRY VEGETABLE RIBBONS (serves 2)
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp sunflower oil
2 carrots, peeled
2 small zucchini
1 small red pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp green Thai curry paste
dark soy sauce
about 150-200ml coconut milk
Method
Crush the garlic, slice the pepper very thinly, and using a vegetable peeler, cut the carrots and zucchini into ribbons lengthways.
Heat the oil in a large pan of wok, add the garlic and sautee till aromatic. Then add the pepper strips and sautee for about 3 minutes. Add the carrot strips and zucchini and sautee briefly, just until they begin to soften.
Add the green Thai curry paste and stir to mix thoroughly. Add a splash of soy sauce and allow the liquid to reduce.
Finally, add the coconut milk, stir and heat through until starting to bubble. Serve immediately.
I could imagine this would go well with grilled fish or chicken, but my vegetables were delicious with couscous and pan-fried pork medallions. The choice is yours!

Green Thai Curry
Taste tickling spice with the creamy comfort of coconut milk, a green thai curry makes an easy and satisfying meal. It keeps well and the flavours are even better the next day, so it is a wonderful recipe to cook ahead the evening before, when you’ll be having guests to dinner after work.
It’s simple enough to make your own thai curry paste in the food processor, but to save time and make things simpler you can use a good ready-made brand. The vegetables you include in your curry are up to you: spinach, red peppers, bamboo shoots, green beans and mushrooms all work well, but you probably want to choose just two of those.
Recipe for Green Thai Curry
Ingredients to serve six
6 chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 onions sliced thinly
2.5cm / 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled and grated
6 cloves garlic finely chopped
75g green thai curry paste (see below to make your own)
2 x 400g tins coconut milk
1 tablespoons soft brown sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
8 lime leaves (optional)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 – 3 cups of the chopped or sliced vegetables of your choice from the list above
20 basil leaves
1 bunch fresh coriander
In a heavy based casserole, brown the chicken pieces in the oil. Set aside on a warm plate. Cook the onions and garlic in the same oil over a medium heat, until the onions are soft and starting to colour. Add the ginger and green thai curry paste. Cook stirring for 3 minutes.

Return the chicken to the pan and add half the coconut milk, the lime leaves and the sugar. Bring the green thai curry to simmering point and cook over a low heat for 40 minutes. (If you are cooking it ahead of time, stop at this point and cool, then refrigerate).
