Calories: 374kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound cod or other firm white fleshed fish
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 6 ounces sugar snap peas
- 10 ounces fresh spinach
- ½ medium onion chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 2 Thai chilies adjust to spice preference
- 1 tablespoon chopped lemongrass substitute lemongrass paste
- 4 ounces Thai green curry paste
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger substitute ginger paste
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 kaffir lime leaves bruised (substitute dried leaves)
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 1-15 ounce can coconut milk 15 ounces
- cilantro for serving
- limes for serving
- steamed jasmine rice for serving
Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil over medium heat and add the onion, garlic, ginger and lemongrass. Sauté until softened and starting to brown.
- Turn the heat to medium high and add the spinach and cook until wilted down.
- Add the snap peas, cherry tomatoes and Thai chilies and cook 2-3 minutes.
- Add the curry paste and kaffir lime leaves and cook 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk and simmer for 5-7 minutes, uncovered.
- Turn off the heat, add the fish and cover for 10 minutes, letting the fish poach in the hot liquid.
- Serve with fresh cilantro, limes and jasmine rice.
Notes
- Be sure to add the cod at the end and poach for just 10 minutes. Any longer than this and the cod will over cook.
- Full fat coconut milk or coconut cream is essential to ensure the curry doesn't turn out watery.
- Regularly stir the curry paste after adding it as it can burn quickly.
- The coconut milk should reduce enough so the curry coats the back of a spoon.
- Curries tend to get more flavorful as they sit in the fridge, so I highly recommend making this in advance and adding it to your meal prep plans!
