Thai curry with coconut milk & crunchy spring vegetables
This Thai curry pays homage to fresh, Asian flavors and brings color to the plate. In this recipe, we use creamy coconut milk together with a finely balanced curry paste and a selection of crunchy spring vegetables such as mangetout, green asparagus and spring onions. The secret lies in the quick cooking over a high heat so that the vitamins and bite of the vegetables are retained. Together with a tangy Riesling or a fragrant Muscatel, you will experience a pairing that perfectly combines exotic spiciness and invigorating freshness. An ideal dish for a quick after-work meal or a light dinner, its balance of sweetness, acidity and spiciness will win over every lover of Far Eastern cuisine and conjure up the spirit of Bangkok right in your kitchen.
