Redbeefandpumpkincurry Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the first oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over high heat.
• Add the ginger and cook, stirring for 1 minute or until aromatic.
• Add the beef and cook, stirring for 2 minutes or until browned all over.
• Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Add the curry paste to the pan and cook stirring for 1 minute or until aromatic.
• Add the beef, tomatoes, coconut milk, water, fish sauce and lime leaves and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours until the beef is tender, and the sauce has thickened a little.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200c.
• Place the pumpkin in a baking pan.
• Drizzle with the extra oil and roast uncovered for 30 minutes or until tender and golden brown.
• Set aside.
• Add the pumpkin and cilantro to the curry and sir gently over low heat until heated through.
• Serve with rice.

Steps:

• For the red curry paste: In a food processor, combine the cilantro, oil, ginger, lemongrass, coriander, cumin, shrimp paste, garlic, red chiles, lime leaf, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pulse to a consistent paste.
• For the curry: Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring well, until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pot and increase the heat to high. Sprinkle the flank steak with a pinch of salt, then add it to the pot; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the steak and add the onions and peppers; cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk, bring to a gentle boil, then add the curry paste back to the pot; stir well. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. (If the coconut milk breaks and separates, don't worry: it will come back together to a smooth consistency.) Add the chicken broth and fish sauce, and continue simmering until the sauce has a nice, gravy-like consistency, 12 to 15 minutes. Return the beef to the pot and finish with the cilantro, basil, mint and lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok, add garlic, ginger, coriander roots, chilies, cumin and paprika and stir fry for 1-2 mins or until very aromatic.
• Add cocnut cram, lemon grass, lime rind and juice, bring to the boil.
• Add beef, simmer for 10mins.
• Add beans, bamboo shoots, fish sauce and basil. Simmer for 5 mins or until beans soften slightly.

Steps:

• Skim the thick creamy top off the can of coconut milk and put it into a large saucepan or casserole with the curry paste, over medium heat. Let it sizzle and, using a fork, whisk or wooden spoon, beat cream and paste together until combined. Still beating gently, add the rest of the coconut milk, fish stock, fish sauce, sugar, lemongrass, lime leaves (if using) and turmeric. Bring to a boil and then add the pumpkin. Cook on a fast simmer until the pumpkin is tender, about 15 minutes, although different sorts of pumpkins can vary enormously in the time they take to cook; some squash can take a little as 5 minutes.
• As I mentioned, you can cook the curry up until this part in advance, maybe leaving the pumpkin with a tiny bit of bite to it (it will soften and cook as the pan cools). Either way, when you're about 5 minutes from wanting to eat, get ready to cook the seafood.
• So, to the robustly simmering pan, add the salmon and shrimp (if you're using frozen shrimp they'll need to go in before the salmon). When the salmon and shrimp have cooked through, which shouldn't take more than 3 to 4 minutes, stir in any green vegetable you're using - sliced, chopped or shredded as suits - and tamp down with a wood spoon. When the bok choy is wilted, or other green vegetable is cooked, squeeze in the juice of half a lime, stir and taste and add the juice of the remaining half if you feel it needs it. Take the pan off the heat and pour the curry into a large bowl, and sprinkle over the cilantro; the point is that the cilantro goes in just before serving. Serve with more chopped cilantro for people to add their own bowls as they eat, and some plain Thai or basmati rice.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a soup pot over high heat. Add chicken to hot oil; cook, stirring occasionally until browned, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in 1/2 of the red onion and brown sugar. Cook until onions have softened and sugar starts to caramelize on the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Stir in black pepper, cumin, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Toss in ginger and garlic; stir until sizzling, about 1 minute.
• Add 4 cups chicken broth and stir to deglaze the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil. Add coconut milk and curry paste. Add cayenne pepper and bay leaf. Stir in fish sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
• Carefully cut squash with a large knife on a cutting board. Remove seeds and peel and discard skin. Cut flesh into bite-sized pieces. You should have about 1 1/2 pounds squash.
• Add squash to soup and salt to taste. Add remaining chicken broth to cover squash. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until pumpkin is just barely tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in remaining red onion, bell pepper, and green onions; cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, and stir in 1/2 cup cilantro and 1/4 cup basil. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Ladle into bowls and garnish with more cilantro, basil, green onions, and serrano chiles. Squeeze lime juice into each bowl.

Steps:

• Generously season beef chuck roast with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat; add vegetable oil. When oil is hot, brown roast on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pan from heat.
• Spread chopped onions in slow cooker; place browned roast on top of onions.
• Spoon red chili paste into the hot skillet. Add cumin and coriander. Rub mixture into hot oil with the back of a spoon to blend. Place skillet over medium heat.
• Pour in chicken stock. Return heat to high. Stir in coconut milk. Add diced tomatoes with green chiles, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, tomato paste, and sliced ginger; stir in lime juice. Bring to a boil.
• Pour mixture over pot roast; add bay leaves. Stir to distribute ingredients in the slow cooker.
• Cover slow cooker and set to Low. Cook until fork tender, 7 to 8 hours.
• Remove meat from the broth. If desired, skim some fat from the surface of the broth.
• Place potatoes and bok choy into the broth; stir. Cover and turn heat to high. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.
• Blend cornstarch and water in a small dish until dissolved. Stir into broth mixture.
• Cut meat into large chunks and add to the slow cooker; stir. Cover slow cooker and cook on high until meat is heated through and broth is slightly thickened, about 12 minutes.
• Ladle into serving bowls and garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro.
