Midweek dinner for two in about 20 minutes…it doesn’t get much easier – or tastier – than this!
Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon neutral oil
¼ cup red curry paste
1 stalk lemongrass
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 thumb-sized piece
fresh ginger, grated
1 red chilli, sliced (or 2 if
you’re a heat freak)
400ml tin coconut milk
¼ cup water
1 kumara, peeled,
sliced ½ cm thick
2 tablespoons fish sauce
400 grams firm
white fish fillets
2 handfuls (about 25)
round green beans
To serve
rice
1 red chilli, sliced
½ cup coriander leaves
paratha or naan bread
METHOD
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and add the curry paste. Fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
While it is frying, remove the outer leaves of the lemongrass and bash it with a rolling pin.
Add the turmeric and brown sugar to the curry paste, stir to combine then add the lemongrass, ginger, chilli and coconut milk. Stir to combine and add the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, add the kumara, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
