Thai Green Curry

This is classic takeaway at home stuff, very easy to make, and hopefully a darn sight healthier. Can be ‘poshed’ up too for date night. If I’m cooking for the week on Sunday, I often just slap this into the pan when I’m finished as it’s light enough to want after staring at onepot feasts for an hour or two :)

It’s incidentally the recipe I just sent to my younger brother, preparing to cook for a first date…wish him luck!

  • 2 green peppers, sliced + 1 onion, diced + 2 limes, 1 zested, 1 squeezed
  • 4 chicken fillets + 2/ cups rice
  • 3 tbsp Thai green curry paste + 2 tins reduced fat coconut milk + 1 glug olive oil + 1 dash soy sauce
  • 1 lemongrass stalk, sliced open + 1 tsp coriander
  1. Heat olive oil in large frying pan, add paste and lemongrass and stir over high heat for two minutes.
  2. Reduce heat, add chicken, lime zest and stir.  Mix in coconut milk and soy sauce and allow to simmer for about twenty minutes.
  3. Add coriander, lime juice, onions, peppers and cook for further eight to ten minutes, until thickened.
  4. Take off heat, rest and serve with rice. Brown if you’re being good, jasmine if not.
