Ingredients:

250ml coconut milk
1/2 tsp Crushed Red Chillies
4cm length Fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
675g Green Beans
2 Kaffir lime leaves
1 tsp chopped lemongrass
2 Onions, roughly chopped
1½ tsp Sea Salt
1 spring onion
5 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Method:

Cover the lemongrass with 2 tbsp of hot water and leave for 30 minutes to develop the flavour. Cut the green beans and spring onion into pieces about 4cm long.

Put the onions, ginger and lemongrass with its liquid in a blender and process to a paste. Heat the oil in a large wok. When hot, stir-fry the paste and lime leaves until the paste is lightly browned (about 5 minutes). Add the crushed red chillies and spring onion, mix in, then fry for a further minute.

Add the green beans, coconut milk, salt and 250ml of water, simmer gently until the beans are tender, (about 20 minutes), then serve with saffron rice.
