From Quick&Easy Thai by Nancie McDermott. Use fresh everything (basil, etc.) for best results. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon garlic, coarsely chopped |
2 tablespoons red curry paste |
1/2 lb ground beef or 1/2 lb ground pork |
1 cup mushroom, sliced |
3 cups chicken broth |
1 cup green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths |
2 medium zucchini or 2 long japanese eggplants, halved longwise and cut into 1-inch lengths |
4 wild fresh lime leaves, cut into quarters (optional) |
3 tablespoons fish sauce |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
holy thai basil, handful |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat, add garlic, toss well. Add curry paste and cook, mashing and stirring to dissolve it, until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Crumble in ground beef and then add mushrooms. Cook, tossing often, until meat and mushrooms are browned and seasoned with curry paste, 2-3 minute.
3. Add chicken broth, green beans, zucchini, lime leaves (if using), fish sauce, sugar, and salt and bring to gentle boil. Cook 3-5 minutes, until veggies are tender and meat is cooked through. Stir in basil leaves and remove from heat. Transfer to serving dish & serve hot or warm.
