Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 T butter
1 T olive oil
4 leeks, white and green parts, cleaned and diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 T green curry paste
2 T coriander pesto
4 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup coconut milk
2 T coriander, chopped

Method

Heat the butter and olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat.

Add the leeks and sauté until caramelised.

Add the garlic and curry paste. Cook for 2 minutes.

Add the coriander pesto and chicken. Cook for 2 minutes, until browned.

Add the stock and coconut milk, and allow to simmer for a few minutes.

Add the coriander.

Cook's note: coriander pesto is available from delis or make your own by blending ½ cup chopped coriander and 50 g cashew nuts with a drizzle of olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon.

TASTE’s take:

Add prawns instead of chicken for a jazzed-up version. Serve with toasted pitta bread, basmati rice or soba noodles.
