Thai pork & peanut curry********

 The above was a variation on the below.  Used what was available and affordable.  Baby corn here was $40.00 a kilo, so I used sweet potato (found in another recipe) instead; could not find lime, so used lemon.  The mix was double to make it more economical over a week, without wastage.

Turned out yummy...

Ingredients

    1 tbsp peanut oil
    bunch spring onions, sliced
    small bunch coriander, stalks finely chopped, leaves picked
    400g pork tenderloin, sliced
    4 tbsp Thai red curry paste
    4 tbsp peanut butter
    1 tbsp soft brown sugar
    1 tbsp soy sauce
    Soy sauce
    400ml can light coconut milk
    175g pack baby corn
    juice 1 lime
    Lime

    steamed jasmine rice, to serve

Method

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole. Add the spring onions and coriander stalks and cook for 1 min. Add the pork slices and cook for 5 mins until starting to brown.

    Stir in the curry paste and peanut butter. After 30 secs, add the sugar, soy and coconut milk, plus ½ can of water. Mix well, put a lid on and leave to simmer for 15 mins, stirring occasionally.

    Remove the lid, add the baby corn and increase the heat. Bubble for 3 mins until the corn is cooked and the sauce has thickened a little. Stir in the lime juice and check the seasoning. Can now be frozen for up to 2 months. To cook from frozen: thoroughly defrost, then heat in a pan on the hob until curry is hot all the way through. Serve scattered with the coriander leaves and rice.
