Sep 22 Green Curry Bowl

This Green Curry bowl is packed with flavour, nutritious veggies and protein rich chickpeas. Additionally I have substituted the more traditional side of rice, which usually comes with curry, with barley in this recipe. Barley is a highly nutritious ancient grain which is higher in fibre than brown rice and it works really well in this Green Curry recipe.

I love having this Curry bowl for lunch on a rainy day. It’s got just the right amount of spice to it to give you a bit of a kick and it’s exotic Thai-style flavour always puts me in a good mood.

Green Curry Bowl recipe

(serves 2)

Instructions:

Begin by cooking the barley. Add 320ml of water to a pan and bring to a boil, then add 165g of Barley and cook for approximately 20 minutes then set aside. You can also use “boil in the bag” Barley if you would like to speed up the cooking time.

If you choose to make your own Green Curry paste, this will be the next step in the recipe, if you are using store bought curry paste, please skip this step.

Making Green Curry Paste:

Making Green Curry paste is actually super easy. Simply place all your ingredients (Ginger, coriander, garlic, shallots, lemon grass, thai chillies, cumin, pepper, salt) in a good blender or food processor and blend until it becomes a smooth paste.

Making your own fresh paste doesn’t only taste the best in my opinion, but also finding a vegan green curry paste can be challenging since fish or fish sauce is often a hidden ingredient in store bought curry pastes so check your labels well.

Making the Green Curry bowl:

Begin by placing the veggie broth in a pan and turn up to medium heat.

Then add in the coconut milk and curry paste. Give everything a good stir.

Now add the carrots, green beans, green peas and chickpeas. Give everything a good stir and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Then add in the soy sauce, lemon juice and green onion. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Your Green Curry is now ready to serve into the bowls.

Place your barley into the bowls and then add in the Green Curry. Finish off by garnishing with some fresh coriander and enjoy immediately.

Happy Green Curry days! xx
