Instructions
- Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a large saucepan on a medium high heat. Fry the onion gently for a couple of minutes until softened.
- Add the curry paste along with a splash of water. Stir for a minute or two to release the flavours.
- Stir in the coconut milk and bouillon cube/stock cube paste (if using). Add the frozen green beans and chopped pepper. Bring to the boil, then let simmer for a few minutes.
- Lay the fish pieces on top of the sauce and vegetables. Put the lid on the saucepan and simmer for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked.
- Meanwhile, lightly toast the almonds in a dry frying pan (if using). Shake every now and again until golden brown. Serve the curry into bowls carefully (to keep the fish in large pieces). Sprinkle over the coriander and almonds and add a lime wedge to each bowl. Enjoy with rice on the side.
Notes
- Portions: This recipe will serve 2 to 3 people with rice and the toppings. However, it's very easy to double to feed more people. The cooking process is exactly the same.
- Curry paste: For a medium spiced curry, use about 2 tablespoons of green curry paste. Use a little more or less to taste (around half a tablespoon). Try to choose a good quality, thick paste - brands made in Thailand or other Asian countries are often the best. The recipe also works well with other kinds of curry pastes e.g. korma, jogan josh, madras.
- Vegetables: Don't have frozen green beans? Use fresh asparagus (chopped into lengths), frozen broccoli, mushrooms, chopped zucchini/courgette, tomatoes, or any other vegetables that cook quite quickly.
- Storing/Freezing: Although I think fish is best eaten when first cooked, it is possible to reheat this curry if you do so carefully. Reheat very gently on the stove until 'just' piping hot again.
- You can freeze in a freezer safe container for up to a month. Let defrost in the fridge, then reheat gently as described above.
- Nutrition: Note that the nutrition info does not include the rice.
