Grilled Vegetable Thai Green Curry (Vegan)
Ingredients for Thai green curry paste:
1 Small red onion – roughly chopped
1 Green chilli – roughly chopped
1 tbs Lemon grass purée
3 pieces Lemon peel
10 stalks Coriander
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
1/2 tsp Honey
Ingredients for curry:
1/2 Big courgette – sliced
1/2 Big aubergine – sliced
1/2 Carrot – sliced
1/2 Red pepper – sliced
1-2 tbs Olive oil
1 tbs Coconut oil
220ml Thai coconut milk
15 Basil leaves
1/2 tbs Soy sauce
1/2 tsp Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Lemon juice
Method
– Put the red onion, green chilli, lemongrass purée, lemon peel, coriander, honey, salt, nutmeg, cumin and black pepper in an electric blender. You can also use a handheld electric blender and blend until the mixture forms into a paste.
– Mix the olive oil with all the vegetables then season it with a pinch of salt and pepper.
– Put the vegetables under a grill. I grilled mine for about 3 minutes each side on a griddle pan for a lovely charcoal effect. Rest the vegetables on a kitchen towel once they are cooked
– Heat the coconut oil with 3 tablespoon of the curry paste until sizzling, then add the coconut milk , soy sauce, sugar and salt. Wait until this liquid mixture is bubbling and simmers for a further 10 minutes. Stir gently.
– Add the vegetables and simmer for 5 minutes. Then add the basil leaves and lemon juice.
– That is it…. job done. Serve this Grilled Vegetable Thai Green Curry (Vegan) with steamed Thai Jasmine rice, also good with a warm roti.
Tip:
*Freeze the rest of the curry paste for next time.
*For non vegetarians, why don’t you serve this Grilled Vegetable Thai Green Curry with fresh grilled mackerel? And.. a good glass of white wine or a pint of beer? Take your pick.
