-================ -(aka Country Curry or -Jungle Curry) Ingredients: 1 lb fresh green beans [if necessary, you may substitute whole frozen

ones] 2 T Thai Curry Paste (I like to use the “Key” brand packets of either “Country Curry” or “Red Curry”; but they are all flavorful. Mae Ploy and Tommy Tang are other good brands. 2 T vegetable oil Bamboo shoots (optional; I like to use a large can of bamboo tips because they are tender and I can cut them into 1/4 inch thick round slices. You can also use a couple of the small cans of sliced bamboo shoots, but they will not absorb the flavor as well. I think carrots cut into coins would also be good, if you like those. I tried potatoes once, but they just disintegrated.) 6 c chicken broth Clean and pick green bean tips. In a dutch oven (or equivalent size vessel), heat oil. Add curry paste and “fry” until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, green beans, bamboo shoots (or other vegetable). Bring to a rapid boil and cook like that for about 15-20 minutes (watching that liquid doesn’t reduce too much; add water as necessary). Reduce heat to a hard simmer and continue cooking until green beans are VERY done and have absorbed the flavor of the curry broth. Serve in bowls over rice. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: sehender@reed.edu (Sarah Henderson) Source: Madhur Jaffrey’s _Far Eastern Cookery_ Converted by MMCONV vers. 1.40
