I absolutely love Thai red curry, but the generic, restaurant prepared one served with white rice is very carb and calorie dense, meaning you should only really eat a small portion...

But, who wants to eat a small portion of dinner? Not me!

So I have created this SIMPLE recipe to solve this problem.

Because it is bulked up with lots of low carb, low calorie vegetables and served with cauliflower rice, you can eat a huge portion without the guilt, like all of my meals!

Recipe

Serves: 2
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 250 g chicken

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• 1 small brown onion, diced

• 1/2 head cauliflower chopped roughly

• 3-4 cups chopped low carb, non starchy vegetables (eg broccoli, mushrooms, capsicum, zucchini, eggplant)

• 1 large garlic clove, crushed

• 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger

• 1/2 tsp lemongrass

• 1/2 teaspoon chilli (optional)

• 2 large tbsp Thai red curry paste

• 1, 270 mL can light coconut milk (I use Aham Organic Light coconut milk)

• 1 bunch coriander

• Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. In a large saucepan on medium heat, heat olive oil

2. Add chicken, garlic, ginger, lemongrass and curry paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is slightly browned

3. Add onion and veggies (not the cauliflower). Cook for approx. 3 minutes whilst stirring occasionally

4. Stir through coconut milk and a handful of coriander and simmer on low heat while you make the cauliflower rice

5. To make cauliflower rice, throw the chunks into a food processor and blitz until it resembles bread crumbs! Transfer to a bowl and heat in microwave for approx. 2 mins

6. Remove curry from heat. Season with salt, pepper and extra chilli if desired! Serve on top of a big mound of the cauli rice and top with some extra coriander!

   
   

Notes:

• Swap chicken to tofu (same amount) or beef (200 g) if desired

• Change red curry paste to green if desired

• A splash of tamari or coconut aminos makes this dish extra tasty too! As does an extra sprinkle of garlic and/or ginger powder too!
