Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 lb mushrooms 750g
  • 1 can coconut milk 14 oz / 400ml
  • 4 scant tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 1 1/2 cups water or chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 lb ground pork 500g
  • 3.5 oz nut butter (about 4 tablespoons) 100g
  • 1 bag baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Slice the mushrooms lengthwise into 3 or 4 slices. I leave the stems on.

  2. Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Scoop a few tablespoons of coconut cream from the top of the can and add to the pan. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring every now and then, for 7-8 minutes or until they've shrunk down and softened.

  3. Add the curry paste, the rest of the coconut milk, 1 1/2 cups water (or just fill the can to measure) and the pork. Simmer rapidly for 5 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.

  4. Add the baby spinach and remove from the heat. Stir in the nut butter. Taste and season with salt or more curry paste as needed.
