Peanut and Pineapple Curry

I saw Jamie Oliver make a version of this curry and knew I had to try it. I found this recipe on the net and adapted it to suit our taste. Check out Recipe #190959 to make your own, fresh coconut milk. This is great served alongside a simple chicken or fish dish, or just served on its own, over jasmine rice, for a vegetarian dish (if you want it to be completely vegetarian, omit the fish sauce, but be prepared for a loss of flavour).

Super easy! We found it to be a little bland so added lots more sambal oelek and served it with chili sauce on the side too. Over rice I thought it was quite filling and better as a main course than side dish. My husband said he wished it included pork or chicken. I explained that authentic African meals don't always incorporate meat, but he insisted that next time it needs some meat. Made for the Zaar World Tour.Reply
