THAI GREEN CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Put 225g new potatoes, cut into chunks, in a pan of boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add 100g trimmed and halved green beans and cook for a further 3 minutes, by which time both should be just tender but not too soft. Drain and put to one side.
• In a wok or large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil until very hot, then drop in 1 chopped garlic clove and cook until golden, this should take only a few seconds. Don't let it go very dark or it will spoil the taste.

• Next, pour in a 400ml can of coconut milk and let it come to a bubble.
• Stir in 2 tsp Thai fish sauce and 1 tsp caster sugar, then 450g bite-size chicken pieces. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
• Tip in the potatoes and beans and let them warm through in the hot coconut milk, then add 2 finely shredded lime leaves (or 3 wide strips lime zest).
• Add a good handful basil leaves, but only leave them briefly on the heat or they will quickly lose their brightness.
• Scatter with lime to garnish and serve immediately with boiled rice.

THAI GREEN CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Use a high-quality food processor - you want a paste, not a finely-chopped salsa.
• Into the food processor, put: onion, lemon grass, garlic, ginger, green chillies, lime zest, lime juice, half of the peanut oil (1 tbsp), fish sauce, cilantro, and basil.
• Process to a smooth paste. Add a little water if necessary.
• Heat a wok or a large frying pan with the remaining 1 tbsp peanut oil. When very hot, add the chicken and stir-fry 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken starts to turn golden-colored.
• Add the green beans and stir-fry one more minute. Remove chicken and green beans to a plate or bowl.
• Put paste into wok and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. The raw onions in the paste will ruin the flavor, so make sure onion is fully cooked before moving on. Taste regularly to check.
• When paste no longer has raw-onion flavor, stir in coconut milk and mix well.
• Add chicken and green beans, stir to coat, and simmer (uncovered) for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.

• Bring back to a brisk simmer and cook until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens, about 5 minute.
