Recipe makes for 4 Servings

9 oz can of coconut cream

1 tbsp Thai red curry paste

1 lb round or topside steak, cut into strips

2 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp grated palm sugar

5 fresh kaffir lime leaves

2 cups coconut milk

8 Thai eggplants, halved

2 tbsp finely shredded fresh Thai basil


Directions:

Scoop the thick coconut cream from the top of the can (make sure not to shake it beforehand) - you should have about 1/2 cup. Put thick cream in a wok and bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes or until the oil starts to separate from the cream.

Add the curry paste and simmer, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes or until fragrant.

Add the meat and cook, stirring, for 3-5 minutes or until it changes color. Stir in the fish sauce, palm sugar, lime leaves, coconut milk and remaining coconut cream, and simmer for 1 hour or until the meat is tender and the sauce slightly thickened.


Add the eggplant and cook for 10 minutes, or until tender. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water. Stir in half the basil garnish with the remainder and serve with rice.
