Serve with: steamed jasmine or brown rice. Ingredients:
8 ounces green beans, trimmed |
2 medium carrots (10 oz), cut at a diagonal into 1/4-inch thick slices |
3 tablespoons green curry paste (available in the asian aisle at most supermarkets) |
2 (13.5-oz) cans light coconut milk |
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth |
1 tablespoon asian fish sauce* (also available at most supermarkets) |
2 tablespoons brown sugar (preferably dark) |
1 large sweet potato (about 1 lb), cut into 1-inch pieces |
2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (or firm organic tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes) |
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices |
Directions:
1. Bring a medium saucepan of water with 1/2 tsp salt to a boil. Blanch green beans and carrots for 2 minutes; drain. Set aside.
2. In a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot, cook curry paste over medium heat, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Whisk in coconut milk, chicken broth, fish sauce, and sugar, and simmer briskly until liquid is reduced by about one-third (10-15 minutes).
3. Add sweet potato to pot and simmer until it begins to soften (5 minutes). Add chicken, if using, bring to a simmer, and cook until no longer pink (5 minutes). Add zucchini, blanched vegetables, and tofu (if using). Continue to cook, covered, until zucchini is just tender (3-5 minutes more). Serve.
4. *To make this dish vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth and soy sauce for the chicken broth and fish sauce.
