Ingredients

• 1 brown onion
• 55g (1/3 cup) unsalted roasted peanuts
• 1 long fresh red chilli
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 450g pkt microwave long-grain rice
• 1 tbs red curry paste
• 270g can coconut cream
• 250ml (1 cup) chicken stock
• 130g (1/2 cup) crunchy peanut butter
• 140g (1 cup) pre-shredded carrot
• 100g baby spinach
• Lime wedges, to serve (optional)

Method

1. Heat large deep frying pan over medium-high heat. While pan heats up, cut onion into wedges, coarsely chop peanuts and thinly slice chilli. Add oil and onion to pan and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute or until the onion softens slightly.
2. Meanwhile, heat rice following packet directions.
3. Add curry paste to pan. Cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Stir in coconut cream, stock and peanut butter. Add chicken. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is cooked through.
4. Divide chicken curry and rice among serving bowls. Top with carrot, spinach, peanuts and chilli. Serve with lime wedges, if using.
