Ingredients

  • 1 medium tomato (or 100g)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 21 ounces skinless chicken thighs boneless, cubed (or 600g)
  • 1 small onion yellow, finely diced (or 50g)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated (or 6g)
  • ½ red chili pepper fresh (or more to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened peanut butter no sugar added (or 32g)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (use less if using soy sauce)
  • teaspoon pepper
  • 13.5 ounces coconut milk canned, full-fat, unsweetened
  • 5.5 ounces green beans trimmed (or 155g)
  • ½ juice lime (½ - 1 lime to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons coriander fresh, finely chopped (to serve)
  • 2 tablespoons almond flakes toasted (or toasted coconut flakes) (to serve)

Cumin and Coriander Cauliflower Rice (optional, not included in nutritional info)

  • 1 medium cauliflower (or 550g florets)
  • 1.5 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup coriander fresh, finely chopped (or 15g)

Instructions

  • Prepare the tomato by quartering and then pulsing in a food processor. (Note: You can very finely dice if you prefer but pulsing in a food processor yields the best flavor and texture to the curry.)
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil (medium heat) in a non stick frying pan or Dutch oven. Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes until golden on the outside. (Note: the chicken will not be fully cooked at this stage.)
  • Add the onion, garlic and ginger. Fry for 2 minutes then add the red chili pepper and spices for 1 further minute. (Note: If using a Dutch oven you may need to deglaze the pan with a little water to stop sticking. I used 3 tablespoons of water.)
  • Next add the tomato, chicken stock, peanut butter, coconut aminos, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then simmer on medium / low for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and cook for a further 5 minutes on a medium heat.
  • Add the green beans and juice of the lime and cook for 3 minutes or until the beans are el dente. Check that the chicken is cooked through. Internal temperature should register 165 degrees F. Taste and adjust seasoning and lime to taste.
  • Serve with toasted almonds or toasted coconut flakes, fresh coriander and optional cumin and coriander cauliflower rice.

Cumin and Coriander Cauliflower Rice (optional, not included in nutritional info)

  • Add the cauliflower florets to a food processor and pulse until like the texture of rice. (Note: use the S blade in the food processor)
  • Toast the cumin seeds, on a medium / low heat, in a non stick frying pan for approximately 1 minute or until golden and they start to release their lovely aroma. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the cauliflower rice and fry for 5 minutes. Add the toasted cumin seeds and salt and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir through fresh coriander.

Storage

  • Tupperware in the fridge for 3 days or freezer for 2 months
