Green Beans with Coconut Curry Dressing

The creamy and flavourful Indian-inspired salad dressing with uniquely warming spices and coconut cream livens up the green beans and works great with other vegetables too. Nigella seeds add an herby-oniony flavour while pink pepperberries add a floral note and a gorgeous pop of colour and subtle crunch. This easy salad takes less than 30 minutes to pull together and makes a versatile side dish or starter. Feel free to add some crispy bacon or nuts if desired.

 
Coconut Curry Dressing
  • 1-2 Onions (I used red onion)
  • Ghee, coconut oil or lard for frying onions
  • 400-500 g Green beans, washed with the ends removed
  • 1 tsp Sea salt for the water
  • 1/2 tsp Nigella seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Pink pepper berries
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp Ginger paste
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp Chilli powder
  • 250 ml Coconut cream (I used Aroy-D)
  • 1 tsp Garam masala
  • Juice of 1 lime
  1. Peel and thinly slice the onions with a sharp knife or a mandolin. Heat up about an inch of ghee or oil in a large, deep saucepan. Once hot, lower the sliced onion and allow them to fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-10 minutes, depends on how thick you slice your onions. Stir occasionally to make sure they're frying evenly.
  2. To make the dressing, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan and fry the cumin seeds over a medium heat until them smell aromatic, 1-2 minutes. Add the ginger paste and minced garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the turmeric, chilli powder and a pinch of salt, and coconut cream. Stir well and turn the heat to low, allowing the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes. Finish with the garam masala and lime juice and stir well. The sauce can be served hot or cold, and can even be made a couple of days ahead.
  3. Boil a large pot of water with sea salt over a medium to high flame and blanch the trimmed beans for 3-5 minutes until cooked but still crisp. Refresh under cold water before plating. Scatter the beans on a platter, dress with the coconut sauce, then finish with crispy onions, nigella seeds and pink pepper berries to serve.

That reminds me that I forgot to buy coconut oil today while shopping! I did find nice scallions and lovely big chard.

I love green beans, although I have a feeling that I'd eat anything if it were graced with this tasty sauce! You clinched the deal when you said "bacon," though.

Las judías verdes nos gustan mucho y ese curry de coco es muy interesante, excepto por el Chile, pero yo no sé lo pongo y ya está.
