THAI GREEN CURRY WITH BEEF AND EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Place all green curry paste ingredients together in a food processor, blender, chopper, or pestle and mortar. Add up to 1/4 can of the coconut milk, enough to help blend ingredients (reserve the rest for later).
• Process (or pound) well to create an aromatic Thai green curry paste. If you don't have a food processor or chopper, try using a blender, or finely mince all ingredients by hand and stir together well.
• Heat a wok or deep-frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Add 2 to 3 tablespoons oil and swirl around, then add the green curry paste. Stir-fry briefly to release the fragrance (1 minute), then add the beef.
• Stir-fry briefly to cover the meat in spices (1 to 2 minutes).
• Add the stock and bring to a boil. Stir and reduce heat to medium or medium-low. Simmer 6 to 10 minutes.
• Set aside 1/4 cup coconut milk, reserving it for use later (the thick cream is best). Add the rest of the coconut milk to the curry, plus the eggplant (if using).
• Stir everything together, cover, and simmer 7 to 8 minutes, or until eggplant is tender enough to pierce with a fork.
• Add the bell pepper. Cover and simmer 2 to 3 minutes, or until everything is well cooked.
• Remove from heat and gently stir in the 1/4 cup reserved coconut milk . Taste-test, adding more fish sauce if not salty or flavorful enough.
• Add more lime juice if too salty or sweet for your taste. Add more sugar if not sweet enough. More chili can also be added.
• Portion out the green curry onto serving plates or bowls.
• Sprinkle with a generous amount of fresh basil and serve with plenty of Thai jasmine-scented rice .

BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Heat one tbsp of the oil in a casserole pot over a medium-high heat. Season the beef and fry in the pot for 5-8 mins, turning with a pair of tongs half way until evenly browned. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat the remaining oil and butter in the pan and add the onions. Fry gently for 15 mins or until golden brown and caramelised. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric, ground coriander and cardamom and fry for two mins. Tip in the tomatoes, stock and sugar and bring to the simmer.
• Add the beef, put a lid on top of the curry and cook over a low heat for 1 ½ - 2 hrs or until the meat is tender and falling apart. Remove the lid for the last 20 minutes of cooking.
• Stir through the garam masala and cream (if using) and season to taste. Scatter over the coriander and serve with naan breads or rice.

STIR-FRY GREEN CURRY BEEF WITH ASPARAGUS & SUGAR SNAPS

Steps:

• Stir the beef with the fish sauce, lime zest, peppercorns and garlic, then set aside. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick wok and pile in the shallot, asparagus, sugar snaps and broccoli. Stir-fry over a high heat for 5 mins. (There are a lot of vegetables, so you can speed up the process by adding a dash of water to the wok every now and then to steam them at the same time.)
• Stir the coconut milk, curry paste and lime juice together, pour into the pan and stir well. Simmer for 2 mins, adding a few tbsp water until the vegetables are tender but still have a lot of bite. Tip into bowls and keep warm.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan, tip in the beef and stir-fry for 1-2 mins until just cooked. Stir through the basil leaves and serve on top of the vegetables.
