This dish is wonderfully fragrant and uses very little ingredients to make a lovely Thai inspired dish. It is crucial to buy the right cut of lamb, anything that takes too long to cook will be chewy and tough, so buy leg steaks or neck fillet for this recipe. Also the Thai curry paste is important look for a good Thai brand or you could even make your own and freeze the remainder for another time. I used green beans for this as I wanted something with a bit of bite but if you don’t like them, replace them with something crunchy you do like.

Serves 2-3

Ingredients

1 tbsp. vegetable oil

400g Lean lamb leg steaks, cut into bite size pieces
