Vegan B*ef Massaman Curry with Coriander Rice & Mangetout

A classic Thai-style massaman curry gets a vegan twist with tender plant-based shredded b*ef, simmering away in a fragrant coconut curry. Vibrant carrot and crunchy mangetout up the veg. Fluffy brown rice soaks up all the flavour. Sprinkle with fresh-cut coriander to complete the feast.

Before you start

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with lightly salted water to a boil

Cook the rice

  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain and return to the pan

Prep time

  • Cut the onions into 1cm wedges. Thinly slice the carrots on an angle into 1/2cm rounds. Roughly chop the coriander

Simmer simmer
