Green Bean Curry (Aka Country Curry or Jungle Curry)

Ingredients

Directions

Clean and pick green bean tips.

In a dutch oven (or equivalent size vessel), heat oil.

Add curry paste and "fry" until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add broth, green beans, bamboo shoots (or other vegetable).

Bring to a rapid boil and cook like that for about 15-20 minutes (watching that liquid doesn't reduce too much; add water as necessary).

Reduce heat to a hard simmer and continue cooking until green beans are VERY done and have absorbed the flavor of the curry broth.

Serve in bowls over rice.

NOTES: If necessary, you may substitute whole frozen green beans for fresh.

Bamboo shoots: I like to use a large can of bamboo tips because they are tender and I can cut them into 1/4 inch thick round slices.

You can also use a couple of the small cans of sliced bamboo shoots, but they will not absorb the flavor as well.

I think carrots cut into coins would also be good, if you like those.
