Thai green curry with broccoli & chickpeas

PREP TIME 10 minutes COOK TIME 25 minutes SERVES 4

I created this recipe because I wanted it to stand out from other vegetarian curries and, boy, it definitely does that. Spice, creaminess, zing and freshness all in one. Love it.

What you'll need

3 tablespoons sesame seeds

3 tablespoons salted peanuts

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 onion, diced

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2.5 cm piece of ginger, grated

190 g green curry paste

400 ml can coconut milk

1 tablespoon fish sauce

2 teaspoons brown sugar

2 heads of broccoli, chopped into florets (approximately 3 cups)

1 large zucchini, cut into rounds

400 g can chickpeas, rinsed and drained zest and juice of 1 lime

TO SERVE

1 handful of coriander leaves

1 handful of Thai basil leaves

60 g (½ cup) finely sliced spring onion finely sliced green chilli

Spiced Coconut Rice (page 226) or steamed rice lime wedges

Combine the sesame seeds and peanuts in a large frying pan over medium heat. Toast until they turn golden brown and release their fragrance. Remove and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the sesame seeds and peanuts. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 minute to release its flavours.

Add the coconut milk, fish sauce and brown sugar.

Stir well and let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.

Time for some greens. Add the broccoli and zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Tip in the chickpeas and cook, stirring, until they are heated through.

Squeeze on the lime juice, sprinkle on the lime zest and stir well.

The finishing touches. Scatter the coriander leaves, Thai basil leaves, spring onion and chilli over the green curry and serve with the coconut rice and lime wedges for squeezing over.
