What Ingredients Do I Need?
White Beans- The perfect beans for this recipe is Bold Bean Co. They offer the tastiest beans with the bean stock going into recipes so no ingredients waste. They’re so creamy and tasty for recipes like this.
Courgettes- A hidden ingredient in this recipe is grated courgettes which offer a thickened sauce. It’s the perfect way to add an extra portion of veg whilst creating a thick and tasty curry.
Green Beans- We couldn’t get enough with just white beans so added green beans for texture. The tip is to cook them for only around 5 minutes so they stay crunchy.
Thai Green Curry Paste- There’s loads of options out there but if you’re keeping it plant based try Green Dragon’s paste.
Cooking Tips:
Full Fat Coconut Milk- This helps keep the curry rich and delicious.
Don’t overcook- We don’t want this recipe turning to mush, so be careful not to overcook.
Serve with – crunchy toasted sourdough OR why not serve on the table with a pack of poppadoms for people to scoop.
