TO SERVE

fresh lime, bean sprouts (optional)

METHOD

1. In a medium-sized pot, heat the oil over medium to high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent.

2. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, Pesto Princess Coriander & Chilli Pesto and sweet potato and cook for about two minutes – stirring to coat and mix it all together. If you like your curry extra hot, add the chopped chillies too.

3. Pour the coconut cream and vegetable stock into the mix and bring to a very gentle simmer.

4. Let this cook until the sauce thickens for about 10 minutes then add the broccoli or sugar snap peas along with half the peanuts.

5. Finish off with the finely chopped coriander and baby spinach. The greens only need a minute or two as you still want a bit of crunch and all that beautiful colour.

6. Serve with more fresh chilli and coriander, a squeeze of lime, beansprouts, some extra peanuts and naan bread for the carb lovers.
