PREP TIME – 45 MINS

INGREDIENTS

1. 1 tbsp coconut oil

2. 1 onion, chopped

3. 3cm piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped

4. 2 cloves of crushed garlic

5. 70g Thai curry paste

6. 400g tin coconut milk

7. 200g Tenderstem broccoli

8. 150g baby corn, halved

9. 1 bunch of spring onions, sliced

10. Juice of 1 lime

11. 1 handful of coriander, chopped

12. 1 medium pumpkin or squash, cut into 2cm pieces

13. 1 tbsp fish sauce

14. Rice or noodles

METHOD

1. Heat the oil and saute the onion, ginger and garlic for about five minutes until the onion has softened but not coloured.

2. Once they’ve started to soften, now’s the time to stir in the curry paste and cook for a minute.

3. Stir in the pumpkin or squash, then add the fish sauce, coconut milk and 200ml water. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. (Carnivores, here’s where you’d add your diced chicken breast.)

4. Add the broccoli, baby corn and spring onions and continue to cook for about five minutes until the vegetables are tender. Finish off by stirring in the lime juice and coriander.

5. Serve with boiled rice or noodles.
