Ingredients you'll need
  • 150g white basmati rice
  • 35g peanuts
  • 2 shallots
  • 2 tomatoes
  • A head of broccoli
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp Worcester sauce
  • 2 whiting fillets
  • 1 lime
From your kitchen
  • 300ml boiling water
  • Sea salt
  • 1 tbsp olive or coconut oil
  • 200ml water
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Tip the rice into a bowl. Cover with cold water and set aside to soak.

  • 2.

    Warm a deep frying pan or wok over a medium heat. Add the peanuts to the pan and toast for 3 mins till the peanuts smell nutty and are browned. Tip them into a clean tea towel or kitchen towel and set aside to cool.

  • 3.

    Peel and finely slice the shallots. Dice the tomatoes. Break the broccoli into small florets (you can keep the stalk and slice it for stir-fries and stews). Peel and crush or grate the garlic.

  • 4.

    Drain the rice and tip it into a small pan. Pour in 300ml boiling water. Add a pinch of salt. Cover and bring to the boil, then turn the heat right down and gently cook for 8 mins till the water has been absorbed. take off the heat and leave the rice to steam in the pan, lid on, for 5 mins to finish cooking the rice. The rice will keep warm in the pan.

  • 5.

    While the rice cooks, put the wok back on the heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and the shallots. Stir and fry for 3 mins till the shallots are just starting to soften. Add the tomatoes to the wok. Fry for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally, till the tomatoes are pulpy.

  • 6.

    Stir the garlic and 1 tbsp Thai red curry paste into the wok. Pour in the coconut milk and add 1 tbsp Worcester sauce and 200ml water. Add the broccoli and simmer for 5 mins.

  • 7.

    While the broccoli simmers, rub the peanuts with the tea towel or kitchen paper so any loose skins come off. Roughly chop them. Chop the whiting fillets into bite-size chunks. After 5 mins, add the peanuts and whiting to the pan. Simmer for another 5 mins till the whiting is opaque and flakes easily when pressed with a fork.

  • 8.

    Taste the curry and add a splash more Worcester sauce if you think it needs it. Fluff the rice up with a fork and divide it between 2 warm bowls. Top with the curry and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
