Tuna & Scallop Thai Curry

From the leftovers in the fridge came a delightful dish.

Ingredients (serves 2):

  • 1  small fillet of Tuna (sliced)
  • 10 small queen scallops
  • Handful of trimmed Mangetout
  • Carton of Coconut Milk
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp of Thai green curry paste
  • 2 tbsp of fresh paste comprising, ginger,garlic,whole red chilli, fresh coriander,lime zest from one lime, juice of one lime and lemon grass similar quantities
  • (This fresh paste give the curry a clean taste and tangy flavour that bought pastes cannot.)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • A few Kaffir Lime leaves
  • 1 tbsp of oil
  • 1 cup of Jasmine Rice

Fry the onion in the oil until soft . Then add the Thai pastes and fry for a minute. Add the coconut milk, sugar and lime leaves and leave to simmer for 15 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and continue to simmer for about 5 to 10 mins.  Serve with Jasmine rice that is well cooked and has been left to drain well.

The textures are great and the flavours delightful. If I had tried to create this it would have failed!
