These are EASY meals that I make every few weeks, requiring little skill, few ingredients and are mostly reliant on ready made sauces- but still they are better than beans every night and so hopefully they'll be useful. The first is an old favourite from my uni days- green curry.
You will need:
Noodles of your choice/rice of your choice
Coconut milk- keep the tin upside down in the cupboard
Meat of your choice
Thai green curry paste from the world foods section of a supermarket or an Asian food shop. Do not use Sharwoods/blue dragon etc you need the authentic stuff.
Veg eg baby corn, mange tous, peppers, mushrooms, carrots
This will take about 15 mins to make
Method:
-Fry a little oil in a pan and add about 1 tsp of the paste and fry. This paste is very hot, and I like a mild taste, so you can add more if you like.
-open your coconut milk from the top (it should have been stored upside down). The coconut milk should have separated into cream and water and you should now have the water on the top. Pour the water into the pan and leave the cream for now. If it hasn't separated don't worry, just add a bit to the pan and add a bit of water on top.
-to this liquid add the diced chicken, baby corn and mushrooms and bring to the boil for a few minutes until cooked
-bring the noodles/rice to a boil in another pan
-add the coconut cream (or the rest of the milk if not separated) to the pan with the mange tout and turn the heat down just to warm it up- you don't want this to boil as the coconut milk will split
And that's it! Serve in a big bowl with lots of the sauce.
