Pangasius is a white fish that has a flavour very similar to cod, but a slightly firmer texture, which makes it ideal for recipes like this one that need a little more time on the stove.
This delicious fragrant curry is super easy to make and very healthy – ticking off 3 of your 5 a day in one swoop. Give it a go for a family dinner midweek, or make a batch to freeze for easy lunches.
- Heat a large sauté pan until medium hot. Add the oil and onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just softened.
- Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for another 2 minutes then add the chopped chilli and coconut milk, fish and soy sauce.
- Bring to a simmer, then add the sweet potato, cover with a lid and simmer for 8 minutes until the sweet potato is just tender.
- Add the green beans and pangasius and stir carefully until combined. Return to a simmer, cover with a lid and simmer for 5 minutes until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the lime zest and juice and half the coriander.
- Divide between serving bowls, top with the last of the coriander and sliced chilli. Serve with the rice.
