THAI COUNTRY-STYLE CURRY WITH GROUND BEEF AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat, add garlic, toss well. Add curry paste and cook, mashing and stirring to dissolve it, until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
• Crumble in ground beef and then add mushrooms. Cook, tossing often, until meat and mushrooms are browned and seasoned with curry paste, 2-3 minute.
• Add chicken broth, green beans, zucchini, lime leaves (if using), fish sauce, sugar, and salt and bring to gentle boil. Cook 3-5 minutes, until veggies are tender and meat is cooked through. Stir in basil leaves and remove from heat. Transfer to serving dish & serve hot or warm.

THAI GREEN CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Put 225g new potatoes, cut into chunks, in a pan of boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add 100g trimmed and halved green beans and cook for a further 3 minutes, by which time both should be just tender but not too soft. Drain and put to one side.
• In a wok or large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil until very hot, then drop in 1 chopped garlic clove and cook until golden, this should take only a few seconds. Don't let it go very dark or it will spoil the taste.
• Spoon in 1 rounded tbsp Thai green curry paste and stir it around for a few seconds to begin to cook the spices and release all the flavours.
• Next, pour in a 400ml can of coconut milk and let it come to a bubble.
• Stir in 2 tsp Thai fish sauce and 1 tsp caster sugar, then 450g bite-size chicken pieces. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
• Tip in the potatoes and beans and let them warm through in the hot coconut milk, then add 2 finely shredded lime leaves (or 3 wide strips lime zest).
• Add a good handful basil leaves, but only leave them briefly on the heat or they will quickly lose their brightness.
• Scatter with lime to garnish and serve immediately with boiled rice.
