Hi guys, Courtney Roulston here, I hope you’re well. Tonight I'm sharing with you my slow cooked pork and lemongrass curry.
It's going to fill your home with the most amazing aromas and under $5 per serve it's a great value flavour packed recipe for you guys to whip up at home. Here's how we do it.
The first thing we need to do is just to blitz up our aromatics for the curry paste. First thing is lemongrass and I'm just going to give the lemongrass a head start because it can be a little bit fibrous if it's not broken down. Alright, next into the blender is just the remaining aromatics for our spice base. Give that a little pinch of salt, we’re just going to belnd that until we have a beautiful smooth paste. We now need to fry off this paste, so this is going into the pan with oil. Alright, you just want to cook out the paste for about 2 or 3 minutes. Next ingredients, curry powder. I've got 800 grams of pork shoulder here so this is a recipe for four and I just cut it up into kind of 2 centimetre chunks.
Alright some seasonings now, I’ve got some fish sauce going in. To offset that saltiness I've got just a tablesoon of honey. And to slow cook the pork we need to get some moisture into the pan, so I'm just going to put enough water to cover the pork. Pop a lid on, I don't have a lid but I have a bowl which would do the same job.
OK, so the curry has had an hour, so let's have a little peep in here. Amazing look at that. So the potatoes are going to go in now. These are going to be around 25-30 minutes and then I'm going to pop in the beans.
Alright, the perfect thing to go with his curry is some beautiful steamed rice. Bring it up to the boil as soon as the water is evaporated, pop a lid on and let it steam for around 15 minutes.
Alright, we are getting close to the finishing line. I've got some coconut cream. I like it spicy this is optional but I'm putting on some extra green chilies over the top. A little squeeze of lime is going to add a beautiful bit of acidity and brightness to curry and you can top this with whatever herb you like, I love some coriander so I’m going on with some coriander sprigs.
There we have it guys you wouldn't find a simpler curry to make. Humble ingredients, great value for money that is how you make my slow cooked pork and lemongrass curry.
