08 Aug Vegetarian Green Curry
6 tbsp green curry paste – Maesri brand is best!
1 tbsp lemongrass paste – Pre packaged
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1.5 cup vegetable stock
600g coconut milk
2 tsp fish sauce
3 tsp caster sugar
½ tsp salt
1 large zucchini, cut into 2cm x 2cm approx
1 large eggplant, peeled, cut into 2cm x 2cm approx
200g snow peas, trimmed, cut in half
½ lime, juiced
Add vegetable oil to saucepan over medium heat. Fry curry paste and lemongrass paste for 3 – 5 minutes until aromatic. Add vegetable stock, coconut milk, caster sugar and salt, bring to a boil, turn down to simmer for 20 minutes.
While the curry is simmering, add zucchini and eggplant to oven tray (or air fryer) and roast at 200c for 8 – 10 mins until browned. Finish the curry by adding the fish sauce and lime juice. Stir through roasted veggies and snow peas.
We recommend serving Vegetarian Green Curry with steamed rice and sweet potato crisps.
Wine Pairing: Vegetarian Green Curry & 2021 True Colours Rose
“This pairing is about contrast – contrasting flavours, not to mention the contrasting pretty colours. Green curry is spicy but the spice is tempered by the rich, fragrant coconut milk and needs a wine with plenty of fruit. Step up TRC Rose – refreshing & crisp with loads of redcurrant, red cherry and plum fruit flavours.” – Meg Brodtmann MW
