Green Vegetable Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pasta pot filled with salted water to a boil. Set up a large ice bath alongside. Blanch the broccoli and cauliflower in the boiling water until they have softened slightly and the broccoli is bright green, 2 minutes. Remove the vegetables to the ice bath. Add the snap peas to the boiling water and blanch until bright green, 1 minutes. Remove to the ice bath.
• Drain the blanched vegetables on a large baking sheet lined with paper towels, patting them dry to remove excess water. Cut the snap peas in half crosswise, put them in a large bowl and set aside.
• Heat the canola oil in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and 1 tablespoon green curry paste and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the paste. Stir in the broccoli, cauliflower and carrots and simmer for 7 or 8 minutes, to meld the flavors and finish cooking the vegetables.
• Next, stir in the cabbage and lime juice; cook until the cabbage is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt. If you prefer more spice, add another tablespoon of curry paste and cook another 3 minutes, stirring. When you are happy with the flavor, remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
• To serve, gently fold in the avocado and garnish with scallion greens. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Open the can of coconut milk without shaking it. Spoon 6 tablespoons of the coconut cream from the top of the can into a medium saucepan. Pour remaining contents of can into a medium bowl, and mix well. In a medium bowl, combine vegetable stock, soy sauce, and palm or brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
• Place saucepan of coconut cream over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble. Add curry paste and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir constantly until very fragrant, about 3 minutes; adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. Add onion, red pepper, zucchini, sweet potato, bamboo shoots, green beans, and eggplant. Stir until vegetables are hot, 2-3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add the soy sauce mixture and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice to taste; you may use the juice of an entire lime. Stir and mix well. Add up to 1/4 cup water if the curry seems too thick.
• To serve, place the curry in a warm serving bowl and garnish with the basil chiffonade. If desired, serve over jasmine rice.

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes, quarter lengthwise, and thickly slice each quarter. Boil in salted water for 5 minutes, drain, and set aside.
• Trim the green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths, boil in salted water for 5 minutes, drain, and set aside.
• Thickly slice zucchini, boil in salted water for 3-4 minutes, drain, and set aside.
• Wash and coarsely chop spinach and set aside.
• Heat ghee or oil in a large pot. Peel, halve, and thickly slice the onions. Mince the garlic or squeeze through a garlic press. Saute onions and garlic in ghee until just turning light golden color.
• Add all the dry spices (from the turmeric through the salt) to the onions.
• Saute over medium heat for 3-4 minutes to release the flavors of the spices, then add the vegetables, ginger, chilis, lemon juice, and water.
• Stir together until thoroughly mixed, and simmer, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the vegetables are tender.
• Serve hot over basmati rice.

Steps:

• In a large skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, green beans, bok choy, and bell pepper and cook until beans are bright green, 5 minutes. Add coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook at a rapid simmer until beans are crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve over rice, topped with basil.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggplant and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Heat another tablespoon of oil in the skillet. Add mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the eggplant.
• Add remaining oil, onion, garlic, and Thai chile to the skillet. Cook until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, broth, curry paste, snow peas, bell pepper, and salt. Return eggplant and mushrooms to the skillet.
• Bring curry to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish with a tight-fitting lid. Add the shallots with a generous pinch of salt and fry for 7-10 mins over a medium heat until softened and beginning to caramelise. Add the curry paste and chilli to the dish and fry for 2 mins. Tip in the squash and pepper, then stir through the coconut milk along with 200ml water. Add the lime leaves, cover and cook for 15-20 mins or until the squash is tender.
• Stir the mangetout and baby corn through the curry, then re-cover, cooking over a medium-low heat for a further 5 mins or until the veg is just cooked. Season and stir through half the coriander. Remove the lime leaves and discard. Spoon the curry into deep bowls, scatter with the remaining coriander and serve with rice and lime wedges for squeezing over.

Steps:
