Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

Serves: 4

Cooking Skill: Not Too Tricky

Ingredients

4 or 6 pork loin medallions or pork loin steaks (450g), fat removed and cut into strips
1 teaspoon oil
1 medium red onion, peeled and finely chopped
4 tablespoons prepared Thai green curry paste
1 tablespoon cornflour or plain flour
200ml lighter coconut milk
200ml reduced-salt hot vegetable stock
2 teaspoons fish sauce
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
200g fresh or frozen green beans, trimmed and halved
300g basmati rice
Handful of chopped basil leaves (optional)

Method

Step 1

Heat the oil in a medium non-stick pan and fry the onion for 1-2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the curry paste and cook for a further minute. Mix together the cornflour or plain flour into the coconut milk. Add to the pan with the stock, fish sauce, lime zest and juice.

Step 3

Increase the heat, stirring gently to bring the sauce up to a gentle boil. Turn down the heat, add the pork and green beans.  Simmer uncovered for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the meat juices run clear.

Step 4

Meanwhile, cook the rice according to packet instructions. Divide the rice between 4 plates. Spoon over the curry, garnish with the basil leaves (if used) and serve immediately.

Tips and Serving Suggestions

Try using pork stir-fry strips for speed instead of the medallions or add baby corn and peas to the curry with the pork.
