Equipment
• Wooden spoon • Teaspoon • Large pan • Colander • Chopping board • Sharp knife • Vegetable peeler
Ingredients
• 2 sweet potatoes • A tin of chickpeas • Approx. 8 mushrooms • 2 large handfuls of spinach • 1 red pepper • Mixed herbs • 1/2 a jar of Thai Green Curry paste • A tin of coconut milk • Microwaveable rice
Recipe
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small chunks. Then put them into a large pan and boil in water for around 10 minutes or until they are soft.
While the sweet potatoes are boiling, chop the mushrooms and red pepper into bite-size chunks.
Once the sweet potatoes are soft, drain them through a colander until all the water has been removed. Then put the sweet potato, chickpeas, mushrooms, pepper, and spinach into the pan with a small amount of olive oil and stir for a couple of minutes until all of the vegetables have softened.
Next, add half a jar of Thai green curry paste and a small tin of coconut milk. Stir well until all of the ingredients are covered in this mixture.
Leave the curry to simmer until the chickpeas are hot, stirring every few minutes. While the curry is simmering, prepare your rice.
Finally, serve and enjoy.
