A LENTIL GIANT
Boil a full kettle. Place a pot over a medium heat with the rinsed green lentils, and 200ml of boiling water. Bring to a simmer and cook (without a lid) for 20-25 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally. If it starts to dry out, add more water to continue the cooking process. On completion, drain if necessary and season.
LET’S PREP SOME STUFF!
Place the Peanuts in a deep pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and roughly chop. In a shallow bowl, combine ⅓ of the curry paste with 1 tsp of oil and seasoning. Add the Chicken pieces, gently coat with the paste and set aside to marinate until frying. Dilute the stock with 65ml of boiling water.
CURRINATION Chicken
Return the deep pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the marinated Chicken pieces for 5 minutes per side until cooked through. Add the remaining curry paste (to taste) and fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the coconut milk and diluted stock, and stir until well incorporated. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
GREENS, GREENS & MORE GREENS!
