Second day of veggie week, and another simple but super tasty recipe. No photo tonight I'm afraid but it shouldn't be too hard to imagine how they look - they look like peppers stuffed with yummy filling! A little unusual as they are steamed rather than the normal ways of cooking peppers, but it really does work well.
Ingredients:
3 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped
2 Coriander Roots, finely chopped (or use a good handful of coriander leaves if you can't get root)
400g Mushrooms, quartered
1 tsp Thai Red Curry Paste (use home made if you have it, there are some decent enough jars out there if you want to save time)
1 Egg, lightly beaten
1-2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce (to taste)
1.2 tsp sugar
3 Kaffir Lime Leaves, chopped
4 Yellow Peppers, halved lengthways and de-seeded (use red or green if you prefer, yellow are a touch sweeter)
Method:
Use a Pestle and Mortar to grind the Garlic and Coriander Root into a paste, a little salt will help. Don;t grind the leaves if you are using coriander leaf.
Pulse the Mushrooms briefly in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the paste, then the curry paste and stir through before also stirring in the egg, soy sauce, sugar and lime leaves.
Place the Pepper halves into the basket of your steamer, and spoon in a generous spoonful of the filling. Steam over simmering water for around 15 minutes, until tender. Serve straight away, hot and maybe with a watercress salad or some dressed rocket leaves and a simple vinaigrette.
Enjoy everybody! Another healthy one down, you can easily get 1-2 of your 5 a day out of this dish and the kids will love them too. Plenty of variations around on the stuffing, just pop in your favourite spices or herbs. Maybe you could top with some cheese and finish them under the grill for a few minutes? I might try that next time...
Goodnight, more to come so don't forget to check back
