GO VEGGIE
If you want to keep this dish veggie, choose soy sauce instead of fish sauce.
Method
- Scrub 1 sweet potato (300g) and slice into rounds, about ½cm thick. Trim 1 aubergine (250g) and 2 mixed-colour peppers, then chop into 3cm chunks.
- Char the vegetables in a large dry casserole pan over a high heat for 5 minutes – work in batches, removing to a plate as you go.
- Peel and finely slice 2 onions, then place in the large casserole pan on a medium heat with a splash of olive oil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Finely chop the stalks from ½ a bunch of fresh coriander (15g), reserving the leaves for later, along with 30g of sun-dried tomatoes, then add to the pan.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of Thai curry paste (choose your favourite) and cook for a further 3 minutes, then pour in ½ x 400g tin of light coconut milk and 400ml of boiling kettle water, and mix well.
- Add the charred veg back into the pan, pop the lid on, reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 10 minutes, throwing the mangetout in for the final 2 minutes.
- Season with 2 teaspoons of soy or fish sauce, then finely chop and scatter over the coriander leaves.
- Cut 1 lime into wedges for squeezing over, then serve up, with flatbreads on the side, if you like.
