RICE
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of cold salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and steam for a further 10 minutes. Drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
PREP
Place the Peanuts in a pot (large enough for the curry) over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pot and roughly chop.
CURRY
Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ½ of the sliced chilli (to taste) for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add ¾ of the massaman curry paste and fry for 1-2 minutes, shifting frequently. Pour in the coconut milk and 100ml of water. Mix until combined. Leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes until reduced by half. In the final 2-3 minutes, add the sliced green beans and the Mussels and simmer until the mussels are heated through, stirring occasionally.
FINISH
When the curry sauce is done, taste to test and add the remaining ¼ of the curry paste if you’d like. Stir through the shredded Spinach and ½ of the chopped coriander. Cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted, season, and add a sweetener of choice.
PLATE
Dish up the brown rice and spoon over the massaman curry. Garnish with the toasted Peanuts, remaining coriander and chilli (to taste). Amazing, Chef!
