Vegetable satay curry
This vegetable Thai curry heroes store-cupboard ingredients like Thai curry paste and peanut butter which produces an addictively rich and creamy satay sauce. Swapping half the coconut milk for vegetable stock cuts down on calories and the addition of edamame beans ups the protein count which can be lacking in some meat-free meals.

-
Coat the butternut squash in half the vegetable oil and season well. Spread out on a baking tray and roast in a preheated oven at 190C for 35-40 minutes, tossing halfway, until caramelised and tender.
-
Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the remaining vegetable oil (alternatively use a tablespoon of the fat collected at the top of the coconut milk tin). Toss in the shallot and cook for 5 minutes until soft and translucent but not coloured.
-
Scrape in the garlic and chilli stir-fry for 1 minute before adding the Thai curry paste. Add a splash of water to stop it from burning and continue to cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely fragrant and thick.
-
Stir in the peanut butter, coconut milk, vegetable stock, Thai fish sauce and kaffir lime leaves and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and leave to blip away for 10 minutes or until the sauce has started to thicken.
-
Meanwhile, pour 600ml of salted water into a saucepan and add the jasmine rice. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the water has absorbed and the rice is tender.
-
Stir the courgette, red pepper and edamame beans into the satay sauce and cook gently for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are just cooked.
-
Add the roasted butternut squash to the pan, mix well, and season to taste with salt, pepper and lime juice. Remove from the heat.
-
Fluff the jasmine rice up with a fork and transfer to a bowl.
-
Divide the vegetable satay curry between plates and garnish with roasted peanuts. Serve with jasmine rice on the side.
