Ingredients

1 tbsp coconut oil
1 onion, diced
6 garlic cloves, crushed
1 red chilli, deseeded and diced (optional)
1 lemon grass stalk, bruised
1 tbsp grated fresh root ginger
400ml reduced-fat coconut milk
400ml chicken stock
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp red Thai curry paste
2 tbsp unsweetened peanut butter
2 chicken breasts, skinned and thinly sliced
150g fine green beans
1–2 limes
1 tbsp brown sugar, to taste
small bunch of fresh coriander, to serve (optional)

Method

Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the coconut oil. Fry the onion, garlic, chilli, if using, lemon grass and ginger for about 5 minutes until softened. Pour in the coconut milk, stock, soy sauce, curry paste and peanut butter and bring to a gentle simmer.

Add the slices of chicken to the pan and cook for 10 minutes, then add the beans and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes. Add a good squeeze of lime juice and sugar to taste, to balance the flavours of the dish.

Stir in some fresh coriander, if using, then serve with wholegrain basmati rice.
