1. Prepare the Curry Base
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
2. Add the Spices
Add the red curry paste. Stir well and cook for 1–2 minutes to release the spices’ aroma.
3. Cook the Beyond Meatballs
Add the Beyond Meatballs to the same pan and cook according to the package instructions.
4. Make the Coconut Curry Sauce
Add the peanut butter, soy sauce and boiling water to a measuring jug. Stir until combined and add to the pan, together with the coconut milk. Simmer gently for 5–8 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Season with salt and black pepper.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Serve the creamy coconut curry over fluffy basmati rice. Finish with fresh coriander, sliced chilli or a squeeze of lime, if desired.
Tips for the Best Coconut Curry
- Adjust the heat: Start with 1 tablespoon of red curry paste and add more to taste.
- Make it creamier: Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer sauce.
- Balance the flavours: A squeeze of fresh lime adds brightness to the rich coconut and peanut sauce.
- Add more vegetables: Spinach, peppers or peas make delicious additions.
- Get ahead: Chop the onion, garlic and ginger in advance to make preparation even quicker.
- Meal-prep friendly: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly before serving.
