Thai Sweet Potato and Peanut Curry
by Cherrypick
A tasty, simple meat-free recipe that counts towards 2 of your five a day. Full of flavour, veg and crunchy texture from the peanuts. The coconut milk and peanut butter in this dish cools down the red curry paste's heat, but feel free to add less than the recipe suggests if cooking for people who prefer a tamer taste.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Add the oil in a casserole or solid-based saucepan and place onto medium heat. Add the onion and gently fry for 5 mins. Add the grated garlic and ginger and cook for 1 min.
Step 2
Add in the Thai red curry paste, peanut butter and diced sweet potato before pouring in the drained chickpeas, soy sauce, coconut milk and vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer, season well with salt and pepper and cook for 20 minutes until the sweet potato is tender.
Step 3
If using ready to heat rice, cook according to packet instructions 2 minutes before serving. Oterwise, cook the rice according to the packet instructions and once cooked, leave the rice to steam over a colander, loosely covered with foil to ensure it's nice and fluffy.
Step 4
Once the sweet potato is cooked through, add the spinach and lime juice and season well. Serve with cooked rice, and if you want some crunch, sprinkle over a few roughly chopped peanuts.
