Cooking Time: 30 minutes 
Makes: 4 x Adult 

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tsp minced ginger 
1 tbsp thai red curry paste
Hand full Green beans
1 tin chopped tomatoes 
200ml (1 cup) coconut cream

Tip: If you don’t have coconut cream simply take the creamy top off a tin of coconut milk. 

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the onion for 3 minutes until soft. Add in the ginger and curry paste and cook for 1 minute more. 
2. Add in your green beans then pour in the coconut cream and tomatoes, bring the mixture to a  boil. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. 
3. Add in the prawns and allow to cook in the mixture for a further 5 minutes before removing the pan from the heat.
4. Serve straight away with rice, lime and coriander or freeze for future use. 

For Baby: 

Adding more Texture: (6 ½ months+) - Check the prawn’s outer shell has been removed, blend with the sauce and rice. 

Textured (8 months+) - Remove any prawn shells and tails and chop into pea-size pieces or leave whole to let your baby self-feed.
