There's so much veg floating around the kitchen today, it really has to be a vegetarian dinner. Lots of it seems to be green, which by a process of association leads me towards a green curry! I use a Nigel Slater paste as my base, mixing up in a blender:
- a stalk of lemongrass (centre bit chopped)
- a couple of cloves of garlic
- some galangal from a jar in the fridge
- a shallot
- half a green chilli
- a handful of fresh coriander
- a squeeze of lime juice
- a splash of fish sauce
I fry up a chopped courgette and a couple of spring onions, then add the paste, some veg stock and a small tin of coconut cream. Then in go some sugarsnap peas, green beans and some fresh sweetcorn (just to add a bit of yellow). It all comes out as a fairly tasty bowl of flavoursome green stuff and the sauce doesn't overwhelm the individual flavours of the veg.
