List of Ingredients
CURRY PASTE:
6 green onions, wash and trim
6 medium green chiles, seed and finely chop
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon fresh gingerroot, peeled, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, pound and crush
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
sea salt
1/2 handful lime leaves, torn
2 lemon grass stalks, trimmed -- finely chopped
2 handfuls fresh basil on the stalk
3 handfuls fresh coriander on the stalk
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 limes, zested and juiced
CHICKEN:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
cut into 5 pieces
16 ounces coconut milk
1 handful chopped pistachio nutsRecipe
Put all the green curry paste ingredients in a food processor and whizz to a smooth green paste. Marinate the chicken in a little of the paste for 30 minutes, then add a little oil and the chicken pieces to a hot casserole-type pan or wok. Fry for 4 minutes, then add the remainder of the marinade – it will sizzle and spit.
Stir in the coconut milk, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked. Season to taste. The flavor should have a kick but be reasonably mellow – very fresh and fragrant. Sprinkle with the pistachios and some coriander leaves and serve with steamed rice or noodles, and chunky coconut, tomato, cucumber and lime relish. Yield: 4 servings.
