I heard on the radio the other day that it is estimated that most people have 8 recipes that they use to get them through the week. I often feel so tired of the usual suspects, working out what to pair with potato, pasta or rice. So it's nice to do something a bit different, and add something delicious to the usual repertoire.
A few weeks ago I spotted a lovely Thai Red Curry recipe on the TOTAL Greek Yogurt website and asked if I showcase it here. I was sent the ingredients on Friday and couldn't wait to make it for you all. This is just one of a thousand new recipes and usage suggestions. You can find out more their website
Ingredients:
Directions:
1. Boil 100ml of water in a smal saucepan and add the creamed coconut until it had softened.
2. In a frying pan or wok, heat the coconut oil and add the chicken. Lightly fry until cooked through.
3. Add the creamed coconut and water mixture to the chicken, then add the yoghurt, Thai paste, mixed peppers, mushrooms, mangetout & green beans.
4. Simmer on a medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring every so often. Add more water if you prefer a runnier curry. I added a bit more yoghurt to make it nice and creamy with a thicker sauce.
5. Grate the cauliflower using a cheese grater, knife or food processor, until it resembles rice.
6. Place the cauliflower in a microwavable bowl and cover with cling film. Poke holes in the cling film. It is important to NOT add water. Microwave on full blast for 4 - 5minutes until soft.
7. Serve the cauliflower with the curry and tuck in!
I have to say this dish was really delicious and Nye really liked it too. He had a good suck on the peppers and managed to get through several pieces of chicken. I didnt add any seasoning but it was really full of flavour. The thing that really surprised me was the cauliflower 'rice'. It was so quick and easy but I worried the strong flavour and smell of cauliflower would overpower everything else. In the end it added a lovely sweetness to the spicy curry. I can't help but marvel at what an amazing alternative to rice it is.
I would usually have made this kind of recipe with coconut milk which I don't often have in the fridge so it is fantastic to realise that I can make this with yogurt and use the coconut oil to give it that nutty taste.
