Let’s Make Thai Green Curried Beans

This vegan Thai Green Curried Beans recipe is so easy to make and perfect to use up beans and courgettes. It’s creamy, a little spicy with loads of flavour. The grated courgettes help thicken the sauce as well as adding in an extra portion of veg.  Using a vegan Thai Green Curry paste to pack loads of flavour into this recipe without spending ages chopping and blending ingredients. Green Dragon has a really good vegan paste available in the U.K.

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.
