National Vegetarian Week (May 19-25)

To help celebrate National Vegetarian Week here is a recipe taken from the website www.vegsoc.org for a tasty Quick Korma:

Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion
3 tbsp Korma curry paste
1 tin chopped tomatoes
2 large handfuls broccoli
florets (not too large)
1 large handful long green
beans
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tin chickpeas, drained
and rinsed
One packet of basmati rice
2–4 naan breads

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion until soft. Stir in the curry paste and cook for a further 2 minutes.

2. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and broccoli and bring to the boil. Cover the pan and turn down the heat to simmer for 20 minutes, until the broccoli is cooked but not soft.

3. Add the green beans, chickpeas and tomato puree, bring back to the boil and simmer for a further 5 minutes.

Serve with basmati rice and warm naan bread. You could also try Madras or balti curry paste for a spicier version, or substitute broccoli for cauliflower.
