Quick and easy for you and the family<br />

Using a Thai green<br />

curry paste makes<br />

this a quick dish to<br />

cook – curry pastes are<br />

available in sachets<br />

or bottles from<br />

supermarkets and<br />

Asian grocery stores<br />

Quick Thai chicken<br />

curry for one<br />

Ingredients<br />

2 tsp rice bran oil<br />

1 chicken breast, skinless,<br />

trimmed and sliced<br />

1 small onion, sliced<br />

1 small red capsicum, sliced<br />

2 tsp Thai green curry paste<br />

2 Tbsp water<br />

165g coconut milk, or coconut<br />

cream<br />

1 to serve lime, halved<br />

Directions<br />

Mixed vege, ham and<br />

sour cream fettuccine<br />

Serves 4<br />

Ingredients<br />

460g fettuccine, or spaghetti<br />

360g champagne ham, diced<br />

1½ cups frozen vegetables,<br />

defrosted<br />

250g sour cream, or creme<br />

fraiche<br />

½ lemon, juiced<br />

Directions<br />

Bring a large pot of salted water to<br />

the boil. Add pasta, stir and cook<br />

for 8-10mins or until al dente.<br />

Stir pasta a few times while<br />

cooking to prevent it sticking<br />

together.<br />

Drain pasta, then add back to<br />

the pot along with the ham, frozen<br />

veges, sour cream and lemon<br />

juice.<br />

Toss everything together and<br />

warm through on low heat.<br />

Season to taste with a little salt (if<br />

needed) and freshly ground black<br />

pepper.<br />

If splurging on the flat shopping<br />

budget, a few torn basil leaves on<br />

top is nice.<br />

Divide between serving bowls<br />

and eat while hot.<br />

Heat a frying pan, add oil and<br />

pan-fry skinless chicken breast,<br />

trimmed and sliced for 5min to<br />

brown on both sides. Remove to<br />

one side.<br />

Add sliced onion and capsicum<br />

to the pan and stir-fry to lightly<br />

brown.<br />

Add curry paste and gently fry<br />

for 1min to release flavours.<br />

Add water and mix until<br />

smooth, then stir in the coconut<br />

milk or cream.<br />

Return chicken to the pan<br />

and simmer very gently (do not<br />

allow to boil) for 5min, stirring<br />

often.<br />

Stir in fresh coriander and serve<br />

with lime wedges on the side to<br />

squeeze over.<br />

Tips<br />

<strong>The</strong> curry should not need any<br />

salt and pepper, or spices as<br />

the curry paste is full of strong<br />

flavours.<br />

Don’t allow the mixture to<br />

boil once the coconut milk has<br />

been added or the sauce may<br />

separate.<br />
