Thai king prawn curry!

Treated myself to a new cookbook - I love browsing through cookbooks and if they can provide some healthy eating inspiration, then that's even better!

So tonight for dinner I made us the Thai prawn curry - yum!


Lots of lovely, colourful vegetables packed in, and we had ours with some steamed rice 


It made us a lush dinner! 

And a prepped fresh fruit salad for us to have later. 
We'll definitely be meeting our five-a-day challenge today lol! 


Recipe inspiration today came from the Hairy Bikers - I'm looking forward to trying a few more of these recipes! 


Back soon,

Thai Red Curry with prawns

Such a yummy meal for our Friday night dinner - who need's a takeaway! Husband was cooking tonight and based this on a couple of recipes from round the internet (there's a good one at slimmingworldrecipeshare.blogspot). Filled with scrummy king prawns, peppers, onion, green beans and Chinese leaves - lots of goodness packed in. If you're following Slimming World this works out at 1.5 syns per portion. 
We had ours with steamed basmati rice. 
Delicious! 


In a large frying pan or wok, whisk 1 tablespoon of red Thai curry paste into 250ml stock (chicken or veg) and 100ml light coconut milk. Bring gently to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for a couple of minutes. Add a chopped onion, a couple of large chopped peppers, a handful of green beans (we used frozen ones), a couple of finely chopped carrots, and 4 or 5 finely sliced mushrooms (if using raw King Prawns like we had, add these now). Simmer for 5 minutes and then add either some finely chopped Chinese leaves or green cabbage. Simmer for another couple of minutes - if using cooked prawns, add 300g cooked, peeled prawns. Stir gently until heated through and then stir in the juice of 1/2 lime, some chopped coriander and a tablespoon of Thai fish sauce.
