    MAINS

    This wonderful selection of main courses are great to serve with family and friends.  Serve for casual get togethers or more formal dinner parties.

    INGREDIENTS

    1 tbsp coconut oil

    4 spring onions, chopped

    1 small onion, diagonally sliced

    2.5cm (1”) ginger, chopped

    3 garlic cloves, chopped

    1 red chilli, chopped

    1 green chilli, chopped

    1 stalk lemongrass, chopped

    1.5 tbsp curry powder

    1 tsp turmeric

    240ml (8fl oz) coconut milk

    450g (1lb) raw king prawns

    1 small red and orange sweet peppers, sliced

    handful of either mange tout or green beans, chopped

    2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped

    juice and rind of one lime

    METHOD

    1 Using a sharp knife, cut 3 deep slashes into each breast. Place the breasts in
    a single layer in a nonmetallic dish.

    2 Put the garlic, green chili, ginger, coriander, lime rind and juice, soy sauce, coconut sugar, and coconut milk in a mini blender or food processor and purée.

    3 Spread the purée over both sides of the chicken, cover the dish with clingfilm and leave to marinate in the fridge for one hour (or longer).

    4 Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4.

    5 Remove the chicken from marinade, draining off any excess, and place in
    a baking pan. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until evenly cooked.

    6 Meanwhile, place the remaining marinade in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for several minutes. At this stage, you can add a drop more coconut milk to thin it out if required.

    7 Spoon over the chicken breasts.
