Thai Curry Risotto With Squash And Green Beans Recipes

THAI CURRY RISOTTO WITH SQUASH AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Position oven racks so that a sheet pan and Dutch oven can fit at the same time and heat oven to 400 degrees. Add the squash pieces to a rimmed sheet pan, add 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss and roast until the squash is tender and starting to turn golden, 20 minutes.
• As squash roasts, heat a large Dutch oven over medium. Add 2 tablespoons oil and the shallots, and cook until they've softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the rice and stir until well coated in oil and lightly toasted, 2 minutes. Add the curry paste and stir until fragrant, 1 minute. Add vegetable stock, increase heat to high and bring to boil.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Stir the rice so it does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Cover with a lid and bake until the rice is just slightly underdone, about 10 minutes.
• As risotto cooks, check the squash. After 20 minutes, it should be just tender. Add the green beans to the same pan, drizzle the beans with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper, and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the beans are crisp-tender but still bright green, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Once rice is al dente, move the pot to the stovetop and heat over medium-high. Add the coconut milk and makrut lime leaves, if using, and stir until the rice is creamy, about 3 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and add juice of 1/2 lime. (Slice the other half into wedges.) Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges, and top with herbs and roasted vegetables.

VEGAN THAI GREEN CURRY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of sunflower oil in a wok while you toss the butternut squash cubes into the soy sauce. Put the soy-coated butternut squash in the wok and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes or until softened and browned, stirring frequently.
• For the green curry base, heat the remaining sunflower oil in a separate large frying pan. Add the lemongrass and Thai green curry paste, and fry over a high heat for 1 minute.
• Stir in the coconut milk, then reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 8 minutes.
• Remove and discard the lemongrass stalk. Throw the sugar snap peas, asparagus, green beans and edamame beans into the curry sauce and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked but still have some bite.
• Ladle the curry into bowls and spoon in the softened soy-glazed butternut squash. Top each bowl with a squeeze of lime juice, sprinkle with the coriander, add a few slices of chilli and a scattering of spring onion. Serve with bowls of jasmine rice.
