Curried Green Beans

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons Red Curry Paste (see recipes in Chapter 1)

6 cups chicken or vegetable both

1 pound green beans, trimmed Steamed rice

  • In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  • Add the curry paste and stir-fry for 1 minute.

  • Stir in the broth until well combined with the paste. Add the green beans and bring to a low boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes to reduce the liquid.

  • Reduce the heat to maintain a hard simmer and continue cooking until the beans are very well done.

  • Serve the beans over steamed rice, ladling the sauce over the top.

Serves 4–6

I usually like my green beans like a really rare steak — just barely heated through. But in this instance, you have to cook the beans almost to a pulp. As the beans break down, they help form the sauce.
