METHOD
Preparation Time: 20 minutes. Cooking Time: 22 minutes
- Heat the oil in an AGA Cast Aluminium Wok, or Sauté Pan on the simmering plate, hotplate on simmering setting or induction on medium high.
- Stir fry the curry paste in the oil for a few seconds, until it smells fragrant.
- Blend in the peanut butter and coconut milk. Bring to the boil and simmer whilst stirring for a couple of minutes.
- Stir in the sugar and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Add the cooked vegetables to the sauce and reheat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and piping hot. If the curry is too thick for you, just add a little water or stock
- Garnish with peanuts, spring onion and red chilli. Use fresh kaffir lime leaves if you can get them. Serve with steamed rice
- For perfectly cooked rice. cook the rice in the AGA Cast-Iron Buffet Casserole, (as a general rule about 50g uncooked rice per person). When the rice is steamed, 20-25 minutes, fluff with a fork and pour the curry over the top.
- Tips: Use full fat coconut milk, as lighter versions can cause separation of the sauce.
- For a spicier dish, use a quality Thai Penang curry paste and add an extra 25g of paste, or make your own if time allows.
- Red Thai curry paste can be used as a suitable vegetarian-friendly alternative.
