Green Curry

Ingredients: 

2 carrots chopped
1/2 head of broccoli chopped
1 fennel chopped
1/2 handful of green beans chopped
1/2 aubergine chopped
1/2 red onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic chopped
1 large handful of fresh corriander chopped
2 tins of coconut milk
1 red chili (about half an inch, add more to taste) chopped 
fresh ginger - table spoon chopped
Thai green curry paste 
olive oil
himalayan salt
craked black pepper

(optional prawns, chicken)


In a wok put some olive oil in the bottom on a high heat and add the red onion, ginger and garlic.  Leave to simmer for 2 mins and then add a splash of water.  (if you were to use chicken add this now and cook for 4 mins before adding the veg) Add the 'hard' veg first - carrots for 5 mins then the fennel and 1/4 of the chopped fresh coriander.  Leave to simmer for 5 mins constantly stirring then add 1 tin of coconut milk and 1 table spoon of the green curry paste and stir.  leave for a further  5 mins then add the green beans, aubergine and broccoli heads.  then add half a tin more of coconut milk but all of the cream and 1/2 table spoon of the curry paste.  leave to simmer and stir. (at this point you would add the prawns) Add another 1/4 of the coriander and the chopped chili and a pinch of himalayan salt and pepper to taste leave for a further 5 mins and then serve with brown rice and add the fresh coriander as a garnish.    

Tips: if its to watery then add more of the coconut cream (not the milk) if you add more of this you will need to add more curry paste.  

Enjoy!
