Ingredients
- 500 g pork cubed
- 200 g unsalted peanuts
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 2 tbsp red curry paste
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 carrot sliced
- fresh coriander leaves for garnish
- lime wedges for garnish
- cooked rice noodles for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the unsalted peanuts on a baking sheet and roast them for about 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
- Once the roasted peanuts have cooled, place them in a food processor and blend until you get a smooth peanut paste. Set aside.
- In a large, deep skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
- Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the cubed pork to the skillet and cook until it's browned on all sides.
- Pour in the fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine.
- Pour in the coconut milk and stir until everything is well mixed. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the curry simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the pork is tender and fully cooked.
- Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, as well as the sliced carrot. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the peanut paste that you prepared earlier. Mix it well into the curry, allowing it to thicken and add a rich nutty flavor.
- Once the curry is heated through and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove it from the heat.
- Serve the Pork and Peanut Curry over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges.Enjoy your delicious Pork and Peanut Curry with this recipe!
