Peanut Butter Chicken Curry

September 07

I’ve suggested chicken thighs here but pork loin fillet cut into thin medallions works a treat also. If you have it, a squeeze of lime juice and some coriander leaves is a lovely way to finish the dish at the table. 

  • serves Serves 4
  • time 30mins

Method

  1. 1. Heat the oil in a large wok or pan over a high heat, add the chicken pieces and fry till evenly browned. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli flakes, new potatoes and toss well.
  2. 2. Blend the peanut butter, soy sauce, sugar, fish sauce and coconut milk together in a bowl and pour into the wok. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer and cook gently, bubbling, for approximately 15 minutes until the sauce is reduced and the potatoes are fork tender.
  3. 3. Serve with a scattering of the sliced spring onions & rice if you want to bulk up the recipe.

Indonesian Chicken Curry

January 20

This is one of the best recipes I picked up while travelling in Bali a few years ago and it’s such a hit I still cook it often. With shrimp paste, tamarind, palm sugar and ginger, it has that complex sweet/salty/sour flavour that South-East Asian carries off so well.

Chicken Katsu Curry

October 25

In recent years, Ireland has become known as a serious food destination but as a nation who also knows how to have a good time we still have a few dirty food secrets. Take, for example, the 3-in-1 – an infamous concoction of curry sauce, chips and fried rice – a favourite of late-night Dublin. While I’m not comparing this katsu curry to the 3-in-1, it does have similar qualities: spicy curry sauce and crispy chicken all served with sticky rice. Let’s just say it hits the spot, late night or not.
