I’m spending the week getting to know HelloFresh Canada and I’ve really been enjoying it so far. Today we are having a look at my second recipe from this week’s delivery. So far I’ve found the recipes quick and easy to make. I also find them healthy and flavourful.

If you aren’t familiar with HelloFresh Canada you can get all the details in THIS POST.

Let’s have a look at today’s recipe:

Baby Corn & Green Bean Curry with Toasted Cashews & Jasmine Rice

This delicious and beautifully fragrant dish is super easy and quick to prepare. We particularly love the baby corn. Fun fact: Baby corn is simply corn that been harvested while corn stalks are still young and immature!

Ingredients / serving 2 people:

• 170 g Jasmine Rice
• 170 g Green Beans
• 227 g White Mushrooms
• 10 g Cilantro
• 1 can Baby Corn
• 1 can Coconut Milk
• 2 tbsp Yellow Curry Paste
• 28 g Cashew Pieces
• Olive or Canola Oil

Directions:

• PREP – Wash and dry all produce. In a small pot, bring 1 1/3 cups salted water to a boil. Cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces. Cut the mushrooms in half (or into quarters if they are large). Drain and rinse the baby corn.
• COOK RICE – Add the rice to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid, and cook until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed, 12-14 min.
• TOAST CASHEWS – Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the cashews to the dry pan. Cook, stirring often, until golden-brown and toasted, 3-4 min. Set aside on a plate. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don’t burn!)
• COOK CURRY – Add a drizzle of oil to the same pan, then the mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until golden-brown 7-8 min. Add the curry paste, coconut milk and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the curry slightly thickens, 8-10 min.
• COOK VEGGIES – Add the green beans and baby corn to the curry. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are tender, 4-5 min. Season with salt and pepper.
• FINISH AND SERVE – Roughly chop the cilantro. Divide the rice between plates and top with the curry. Sprinkle with cashews and cilantro.

Notes: I love this simple curry recipe. It’s vegan, has minimal ingredients, and was quite flavourful. I would definitely make this again but I would probably use peppers, broccoli and celery instead of the baby corn.
