Today, I made a Thai style pork and vegetable curry. It was very good!! I know some people equate curry with heat, but this isn't hot at all. It's very flavorful and a pretty light meal, which is great for how suffocatingly hot it is here!!
I took a far better picture, but my memory card apparently didn't save it correctly. When I uploaded my pictures to my computer, it came through as an empty file. So, this is what you get. HA!! When I make it again, which I'm certain I will, since I have made this a few times before, I'll try to remember to take a better picture!
This is how to prepare it for your gustatory pleasure;
This recipe takes about 30 minutes to prep and cook.
1 1/2 cups dried orzo (I couldn't find it in whole wheat.)
1 pound pork tenderloin, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
salt
pepper
cooking spray
8 ounces green beans, ends trimmed and halved on a bias
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
2 green onions, thinly sliced on the bias
1 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
4 teaspoons curry paste (Use whichever you like, I chose green, but I also have really enjoyed this made with yellow. I haven't made this with red, but it would probably be very good, too!)
2 teaspoons sugar
juice from 1 lime
Cook orzo according to the instructions on the box. Drain, return to the pot, cover, and set aside to keep warm.
Season pork with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Add pork and cook until fully cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from skillet.
Spray the pan again, add the green beans, and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, pepper, and onion, season, and cook 2 more minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Add coconut milk, curry paste, and sugar. Reduce heat to low, stirring until combined. Stir in lime juice and add pork. Heat through. Serve over hot orzo.
This recipe serves 4.
We always really like this!! I hope you do, too!!
