Prawn and green beans curry
Background
This South-east Asian style prawn and green beans curry is ready whilst you’re cooking some rice to serve with. It’s delicious, easy and healthy! Perfect for a midweek supper - or part of a Thai menu when you have friends over for a laid-back dinner party.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp groundnut or sunflower oil
- 1 small onion
- 1 large clove garlic
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 red chilli
- 1 x 400 ml tin coconut milk
- juice of 1 lime
- ½ tsp soft light-brown sugar
- 1 fresh or dried Kaffir lime leaf
- 200g green beans
- 300g raw, peeled prawns
- 1 handful coriander leaves
- To serve:
- 1 Tbsp roughly chopped coriander
- ½ red chilli, deseeded and chopped
Instructions
- Peel and finely chop the onion, garlic and ginger. Halve and deseed the chilli, then cut into slivers.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or wok. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and chilli. Stir-fry over medium heat until the onion is soft. Add the coconut milk, lime juice, sugar and kaffir leaf. Bring to the boil.
- Meanwhile cut each green bean into 3 bits, first removing the ends. Add these to the curry and cook for 5 minutes. Add the prawns, put a lid on, turn up the heat and cook for about 3- 5 minutes, then turn off the heat, stir in the coriander. Put the lid on back quickly and rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve with the chilli and coriander leaves scattered on top.
