Rice is usually the go-to side for curries, but slices of chargrilled sweet potato add an interesting flavour dimension to this traditional Thai dish

Ingredients

Raw peeled prawns

600 g, peeled, (buy 1.2kg)

Olive oil

2 tsp

Green shallot(s)

4 individual, sliced

2 tbs

Pepper

2 tsp, (canned peppercorn)

Chicken stock

2 cup(s)

Asparagus

2 bunch(es), cut into 3cm lengths

Green string beans

Canned bamboo shoots, rinsed and drained

225 g

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes or until softened.
  2. Add curry paste and peppercorns and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
