Green Curry
Perfect for a cozy Winter’s dinner!
INGREDIENTS
80g dry rice
1 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp green curry paste
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1/2 chilli, finely diced (optional)
1 Tbsp lemongrass, paste
3/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock, low salt
200ml full fat coconut milk
1/2 cup water
200g chicken thigh, diced
1/2 eggplant, cut into 1cm cubes
1-2 tsp fish sauce
1-2 tsp sugar
3 kaffir lime leaves, bruised (optional)
Juice from 1/2 lime
Coriander leaves
METHOD
Cook rice as per packet instructions.
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the curry paste, garlic, chilli, and lemongrass and cook for 2-3 minutes to release the aromas, stirring continuously.
Add stock, kaffir lime (if using), coconut cream, and water. Bring to a simmer.
Add the chicken and simmer for 7 minutes.
Add the eggplant and cook for another 7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the eggplant is soft (may need a touch longer so do check).
Add fish sauce and sugar, tasting as you go. Then add the lime juice. Our goal here is to create a balance of sour, salty, and sweet - to your preference.
Serve over rice and garnish with coriander.
Serves Two.
