Thai butternut & chicken red curry


Ingredients

  • 3-4 tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • 400ml tin coconut milk
  • 400g butternut squash , peeled and cubed
  • 6 skinless chicken thighs , cut into cubes
  • 250g cherry tomatoes
  • fish sauce to season
  • 2 limes , 1 juiced and 1 cut into cheeks to serve
  • 2 large handfuls Thai basil (available from Thai shops and sometimes in Sainsbury's as a growing pot) , or coriander

Method

  1. Heat the curry paste gently in a wok until it starts to fry in its own oil, add a little extra oil if it starts to stick. Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add the squash and simmer for 10 minutes or until it is almost tender. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes or until they just start to burst.
  2. Season with fish sauce (this is the equivalent of salt, so add a few drops and taste, then add more if you need it) and the lime juice and sprinkle with the herbs.
