Del Monte® Pineapple Vegan Curry
Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15-20 minutes
Serving: 6 serves
Ingredients
1 x 200g packet creamed coconut
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbs red curry paste
12 lime leaves torn
2 sticks of lemon grass bashed or, if you can’t get fresh lime leaves or lemon grass you can buy dried lime leaves and lemon grass on spice racks or buy a pack of Thai herbs from most supermarkets
1 tbs soy sauce
1 x 435g can of Del Monte® Pineapple Chunks drained (reserving the juice)
1 x 400ml can of coconut milk
Half a butternut squash peeled and cut into small cubes (or for variation, you can use a block of tofu, cubed)
300ml water mixed with the pineapple juice from the can
➡️ For the garnish:
100g bean shoots or mung bean sprouts
1 small bunch coriander picked
HERE'S ALL YOU NEED TO DO:
STEP 1:
Place a pan over a low heat and grate the creamed coconut into it with the rest of the vegetable oil. It will start to toast very quickly so be ready - should it start to go brown, take off the heat.
STEP 2:
When cream has split add the curry paste and fry, stirring continuously.
STEP 3:
After a few minutes the paste should be fragrant. Add 100mls of the water/pineapple juice mix and bring to the boil. The colour will change to terracotta.
STEP 4:
Add the lemon grass and lime leaves (or the pack of Thai herbs), soy sauce and the butternut squash. Coat in the lovely sauce and cook for a few minutes.
STEP 5:
Stir well.
STEP 6:
Add the coconut milk and the rest of water and bring back to the boil.
STEP 7:
Simmer for 10-15 minutes until squash is tender. It should be quite sauce like and not too thick. Add the pineapple and stir.
STEP 8:
Top with the garnish of picked coriander and bean shoots.
STEP 9:
Serve with rice or noodles.
