Easy Thai green chicken curry

Easy-Thai-green-curry

 

So, my fellow foodbloggers… do you ever feel a little like a foodie fraud?

I do.  Every day I read through all these wonderful blogs where people talk about making their own pesto/pizza/hummus/stock/jam from scratch, as if they would never dream of doing it any other way, and it goes completely without saying that this is the bare miminum that foodies do.

And then I think guiltily of my own habits and cupboards.  I buy jam.  I buy hummus.  I make stock, but more often, I use stock cubes.  Hell, I have gravy granules!! I guess you could say that I’m the trailer-trash relative at the great foodie family BBQ.

Every time I see a recipe for making Thai green curry, starting with something along the lines of “first, plant your galangal plant”, I feel the weight of inadequacy settle upon my shoulders.  Clearly, everybody else is working an 8-hour day and them going home to make their own green curry paste from scratch – it’s just me and the pasty guy at the checkout with a trolley full of pork scratchings and frozen chicken Kievs who furtively buy the ready-made bottles of curry paste.

That is, until I received a package from one of my favourite expat South African bloggers: cook, blogger and crafter extraordinaire Bordeaux of Marita Says.  We had been chatting via e-mail and I had commented on some cute postcards on his site.  He promptly agreed to send me one, and so we came to exchange care packages.  And what did I find in his package from Thailand?  Four sachets of curry paste – a green, a yellow, a panang and a masaman paste!  So even in Thailand, it seems that some people aren’t keen to dash home after a long day at work and pound away at deseeded chillies and shrimp paste in their pestle and mortar… I’m not so inadequate after all – thanks Bordeaux for showing me the light 😉

Apparently, the trick with green Thai curry paste (and I do mean the paste – not the Lloyd Grossman or similar cook-in sauces!) is to buy one that is made in Thailand.  That way you can be reasonably sure that the ingredients and the taste are authentic.  I’m pleased to say that the Sainsbury’s own-brand green Thai curry paste is indeed made in Thailand, but my favourite to date is the WorldFoods green Thai curry paste.

This recipe is one of my favourite quick weeknight dinner standy-bys.  The longer you can simmer it, the better the flavour, but it’s perfectly yummy even without extended simmering.

QUICK THAI GREEN CHICKEN CURRY (serves 2)20080420 - GreenThai CurryIIWeb

Ingredients:

1 medium onion, chopped
2 skinless, deboned chicken breasts, chopped
1-2 cups of French beans (depending on how you like the meat-to-greens ratio), chopped
2 Tbsp green Thai curry paste
soy sauce
canola or sunflower oil
250ml coconut milk (just over half a standard tin)

Method:

Heat about 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat.  Add the onions and sautee until they start to soften.  Add the chopped beans and sautee until the onions are translucent and the beans are heated through but still crunchy.

Increase the heat a little and add the chicken.  Stir fry until the chicken is almost done, then add a generous splash of soy sauce.  Stir in the green Thai curry paste and allow to cook for a few minutes, then add the coconut milk (you can add more if you want a saucier curry).  Check for seasoning and add more curry paste, salt or coconut milk as necessary.

Once the liquid is bubbling, turn the heat down, cover the pan and allow to simmer for 15 minutes or so until the sauce is reduced and thickened a little.

Serve with lots of fluffy jasmine rice.

    “First, plant your galangal plant…” HA HA HA! The curry looks great– pass the rice, pleas!
    Shortcuts are of course acceptable in my kitchen. I use stock cubes all the time– I can’t get myself to part with that much fuel (er, liquefied petroleum gas) or electricity to make stock. Puff pastry is impossible to make in a Filipino kitchen, too 🙂

    Oh, you’re not the only one. Not by a longshot. Everyone does it–we just don’t TALK about it. It’s one of those dirty little secrets of foodies. I use bullion almost exclusively–unless I happen to have a full bag of chicken bones & bits ready in the freezer for a stock-making marathon.
    Discovering how the locals make their cuisine is such a huge relief most of the time, don’t you agree? When I found powdered berebere spice mixture I was in heaven–and then learned how to make my own for the sake of availability only. If there was an Ethiopian grocery nearby I’d surely purchase it ready-made. I’ll have to search out thai-imported curry paste–there is one good thai grocery not too far away. Thanks for the tip!

    Making curry paste from scratch is in my books, special occasions only. As for day to day life, I agree it is all in the curry paste. I prefer to buy ones that have no English writing on them at all.

    Yep, I make paste from scratch sometimes – but always have a couple of tubs of paste in the fridge for standbys! I like the mae ploy brand best – they do a massaman too 🙂

    Yes, I often feel like a bad foodie as well. I use stock cubes, get pizza delivered (often), buy sacla pesto, houmous from the corner shop, instant coffee and love Hugh F-W but feel slightly ashamed of my gardenless state around all that chat of pulling veg straight from the ground (not even room for a window box in my flat) so the galangal comment was right on the mark. But, I see this and remember that people use spice mixes for good reason and that I can happily spend great chunks of money at Seasoned Pioneers or Steenbergs. In fact I might go and do just that, I need some more Chermoula…

    Actually, I’m not ashamed of cheating. The last thing I really want to do after a long day of work is to go home and pound my own chilli/curry paste. I have thought about making my own curry paste/hummus/pesto etc before. But ‘thought’ is about as far as I have ever went… ha ha..

    Thai curries are among my favorites and this looks good. I have to confess though, that I find it fun to make my own Thai curry pastes. I make large batches and then freeze it in single serving sizes for quick and easy use later.

    You’re curry looks lovely! Even though we lived in BKK for a year and always had access to the fresh ingredients to make our own curry paste I always cheated and bought the paste at stores. Alexander was a bit more industrious though and often made paste for curries. Lots of fun! Enjoy the other pastes.

    And here I go, rattling on about homemade mayo and what have you! 😉 Seriously though – I love making everything from scratch sometimes, but when I don’t feel like it, I’d rather take this kind of short cut and have something that I at least know is made with the added bonus of real vegetables and meat. We all “cheat” – wait, make that “we all have real lives that sometimes eat up the time we’d like to have spend making curry pastes/hummus/stock/jam”. I say there’s room for it all! 🙂

    I love your easy-to-use site! I have a cold and am longing for a curry from my Mum’s local Thai restaurant. Unfortunately she lives 3 and 1/2 hours away from me in the country in a town which just happens to have a Thai uber-restaurant (how I do not know).
    So tonight I am going to chase that cold away with this recipe which will be easy enough to use even through the cloud of medication.
    I know what you mean about ready-made though. My husband sometimes comes home with recipes with convoluted time-conmsuming “from scratch” instructions. Its always with a mind to treating me (he’s a sweetie), but I end up helping him to speed things up. Last time I told him the biggest treat would be to not have to wait 2 and a half hours for my dinner on a weeknight (I get mean when my din-dins is delayed). Thanks very much for the recipe!

    On a recent trip to Thailand I bought a pound each of red and green curry paste at the market in Chiang Mai. They were displayed in large heaps and the vendor scooped out the desired quantity with a ladle.
    I am kicking myself for not buying more as none of the imported brands I have tried so far compare with the local product.
    I know I can grind my own however, has anyone tried the premium brands available online such as Nittaya or Hand Brand? The most readily available brands such as Thai Kitchen, Maesri, Lobo, Mae Ploy etc. don’t come close to the pastes I bought in Thailand.

    I just tried this recipe, and it was fabulous (and so easy!). Thanks!! I’m definitely with you on the curry paste. I had a lot of trouble finding the ingredients for curry paste (even in Asian markets), so I gave up and kept buying the pre-made kind. Some of them work really well!

Dyed Gwyl Dewi Hapus - or happy St David's Day if Dyed Gwyl Dewi Hapus - or happy St David's Day if you don't speak Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

March 1 is the day on which the Welsh people celebrate their patron saint, St David, and one of their traditions is to wear a daffodil, the national flower of Wales. Here are five daffodil facts to impress your Welsh friends:

🌼 There's no difference between a daffodil and a narcissus. Daffodil (or jonquil) is simply the common name for members of the Narcissus genus, so all daffodils are narcissi.

🌼 There is only one species if daffodil that is native to the UK - Narcissus Pseudonarcissus, or wild daffodils. You can spot them by the fact that their outer 6 petals are a paler yellow than the central trumpet, and they are usually smaller than the showy, giant yellow commercially grown daffs. 

🌼 It's not entirely certain how the daffodil came to be the national flower of Wales - one theory is that they are one of the few flowers in bloom on 1 March. Another is that the daffodil is less... antisocial to wear than the other Welsh national symbol, the leek 🤣

🌼 Daffodils are the official 10th wedding anniversary flower.

🌼 Daffodils contain a poisonous sap - keep away from pets and if mixing daffodils in a vase with other flowers, let them stand in water separately for 24 hours first I case they affect the other flowers. 

Are daffodils your favourite Spring flower? Or do you prefer something else?
As a girl who lived more than half her life in the As a girl who lived more than half her life in the African sun, February and March are the hardest months for me to bear in the UK. All the excitement of Christmas and New Year has faded; the credit card bill has arrived; the sun is still setting before I finish work; and the snow that we all hoped for at Christmas finally arrives and disrupts everything. This is why, every year in Feb/March since I moved to the UK (other than the year I broke my femur a week before I was due to fly!), I decamp to South Africa for 2 weeks to visit my family and get my fix of vitamin D (and vitamin Sea!).

This week I should have been here - the Beacon Island hotel in Plettenberg Bay, which I have been visiting since I was about six years old. It is where I go to lift my spirits and clear my head. But for the last 2 years, Covid has meant that I have not been able to go home - or see my family. 

For the most part, although I miss travel, I am secretly quite liking taking a breather and being able to be home without FOMO for a while. But not being able to see my family has been incredibly hard, particularly as I have no family in this country.  And my blood boils at people bending the rules (a dentist appointment in Tenerife when you live in Manchester? Seriously??) to go on holiday while I have not seen my clinically vulnerable brother in two years. Covidiots.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as vaccinations are widely rolled out and international travel becomes practical again, I will be on a plane to South Africa so fast it will make your head spin.

Where will YOU head to first once we are able to travel again,  and why?

Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷 [Press trip] Back Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷

[Press trip] Back before Covid put our lives on hold, I spent a few days in the Languedoc-Rousillon wine region of France learning about (and tasting!) Pays d'Oc IGP wines. 

Want to learn more about the region's wines? Read on, swipe through the images (remember to  bookmark this post to refer back to later) - and click the live link in my bio for the full blog post! 

🍷 The Languedoc-Rousillon region is the largest wine producing region in the world, and produces about a third of all French wine. Pays d'Oc IGP is a classification region within Languedoc-Rousillon, with vineyards that take up over half the total vineyard area in the Languedoc-Rousillon region. Pays d'OC IGP wines account for about 20% of the total of all French wine produced.

🍷IGP stands for Indication Geographique Protegée, meaning it is a protected indication of origin and wines must be made only from approved grape varieties that must be grown entirely within the region's geographic boundaries.

🍷 Most French wines are named for their region (Bordeaux, Chablis, Champagne) but you won't see the name of the grape variety on the label. In response to consumer demand and the New World trend to label wines with grape varieties, rules were changed in Pays d'Oc in the late 1980s and Pays d'Oc wines now account for 92% of French varietal wines (e.g. labelled Chardonnay, Syrah, Viognier etc.).

🍷 There are 58 grape varieties that are allowed to be planted in the region but the Pays d'Oc IGP varietal wines to watch out for include Chardonnay, Rolle (another name for Vermentino) and Viognier among the whites; and Syrah, Mourvedre and Pinot Noir among the reds.

🍷 All wines labelled Pays d'Oc IGP are sampled and approved in a blind tasting by a panel of professionals, meaning the label is a guarantee of quality to the consumer. 

🍷 Producers that you should look out for include Gerard Bertrand, Domaine Gayda, Les Jamelles, Les Yeuses, Paul Mas and Domaine Aigues Belles.

New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way f New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way forward?

I have mentioned before that I don't really make new year's resolutions. There is always so much pressure to make them BIG lofty goals and this is essentially what dooms them to failure. Instead, for the past few years I have made a list of... affirmations? Mantras? I have yet come up with a word that does not make my toes curl 🤣

These are essentially reminders rather than goals - presets, if you like, for the year ahead. I keep them in a handwritten list next to my computer and when I don't know how to react to something or how to shake a mood, I read them and there is usually an answer in there somewhere. 

Given the bruising year last year was, and how 2021 has so far proven itself to be not much better, I really wanted to add something practical to this year's list to lift my spirits on days when I am down. And for that I borrowed shamelessly from the wonderful @gretchenrubin:

🌈  ACT THE WAY YOU WANT TO FEEL 🌈

And this photo is a reminder of how I want to feel on so, so many levels: hanging out with friends; dancing in the sunshine; wearing my favourite red dress; travelling (this was in Carouge, Switzerland); and surrounded by a rainbow of colour. I can't travel and I can't see friends, but I can dance in my kitchen, singing at the top of my voice wearing my brightest clothes. 

What strategies do you use to lift your spirits? I'd love to hear!

If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bi If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bircher muesli during lockdown, you will want to bookmark this post right now! 🔖

I have learnt a few things during lockdown. I have learnt that I am more comfortable spending long periods alone than I had ever imagined; that I suffer a lot more from FOMO (fear of missing out!) than I would like to admit; and that pre-Covid I spent rude sums of money on commuting and barista coffee...! 

I also learnt that although I miss travel and social events and meals out, it is often the smaller things that you miss most acutely - the freedom to call up a friend you haven't seen in a while and inviting them over. Hugging (or even seeing) my family. And grabbing a macchiato and a Pret Bircher muesli on the way to work. Don't ask me why, but it became a small obsession of mine to create a fakeaway Pret Bircher during lockdown - and I think I have succeeded! Here's how:

For 2 servings you will need:
100g rolled oats
200ml milk or water
1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds 
1 Tbsp shelled pistachio nuts
1 Tbsp dried cranberries 
2 small apples
175g plain yoghurt
Honey
Pomegranate rails

Mix the oats, seeds, nuts and cranberries together then add the milk/water and a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight. 

When ready to serve, grate the apples and mix them in with the oats and yoghurt (add a little extra milk to loosen if needed). Stir in honey to taste and serve topped with pomegranate arils and pistachios. Full recipe and more photos are available now on the blog - click the live link in my profile.

Did you try any fakeaway recipes over lockdown? Please let me know in the comments - I would love to hear about it!
Me, turning around and walking out on 2020 like a Me, turning around and walking out on 2020 like a bad romance...

And while we are on the topic, can I still get a refund on the first week of 2021? Not sure it was fit for purpose... 🤣 Either way, I am putting on my brightest dress, fixing my eyes firmly on the future and walking purposefully towards it (bottle of wine optional but always welcome!). 

I don't make resolutions at new year, but I have been thinking about what positives I want to carry forward with me as I walk away from the car crash of a year that was 2020. For me, some big positives have been:

* Working from home, in terms of increased flexibility, increased productivity and increased visibility - I definitely hope never to have to work in the office 5 days a week again. 
* Better and more regular exercise. I ran 585km in 2020, probably as much as in all previous years put together - let's see what I can do in 2021!
* Better connection  and more video calls to faraway friends and family. Why have I not always made video calls?? 

I don't think we need to even mention the many negatives of the last year, but I am curious to know if you took any positives away from 2020? Let me know in the comments 🙂

Onwards and upwards!

In this year that has been so hard on so many people,  I hope you had somebody to share it with; enough food to feel replete; and warm place to eat. I know it was  not the Christmas that we all wanted, but it was definitely the Christmas that reminded us to count our blessings. 

One of the blessings at my table was one of the best Brussels sprout recipes I have ever had - roasted sprouts with chorizo, hazelnuts and thyme - and with only 4 ingredients, so simple to make! Trust me, you want to bookmark this one 🔖

For 4 people you need:
* 500g trimmed Brussels sprouts 
* 75g chorizo, chopped
* 15g hazelnuts
* sprig of thyme
* vegetable oil

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Halve each sprout lengthways and toss the sprouts in enough oil to lightly coat. Arrange on a baking sheet, cut side down. Roast for 15 mins or until outer leaves start to brown, then turn over and roast till cut sides just start to colour (about 10 mins). 

2. While the sprouts are roasting,  toast the hazelnuts in a large dry pan over medium heat till light brown, remove and roughly crush.

3. In the same pan, fry the chorizo  till it starts to release its oil, then remove sprouts from the oven and add to pan. Mix well.

4. Tip sprouts into a serving bowl and top with hazelnuts and thyme leaves. Serve hot.
