Preparing Curry Ingredients for a Vegan Dinner Recipe

Video Transcript

"So, now it's time to assemble our coconut curry. So I'm going to get the ingredients ready. I've got one small/medium-ish onion that I'm just going to dice, because of course; so many recipes begin with just an onion and some butter and a pan, or this case, because it's a vegan meal, some olive oil. Got a red pepper that I've taken all the seeds in the middle, I hope they've all come out--don't want to find one of those--I'm just going to cut them into thin strips like that. I find that adding red peppers to anything, the--not only the color do I love, in the dish, but I find that they get so sweet when they're cooked up. And in half again for this batch. Now I'm going to get, of course, the key ingredient ready--some light coconut milk. Now this, I find--coconut milk is just wonderful because you think that because you're having vegan food that it can't be creamy. But actually, the coconut milk is just--gives you everything you needed in terms of a wonderful creamy flavor, and the texture, everything's just, is just right. I've not got some organic extra firm tofu; I'm just going to drain the liquid out of. Pop that out of its container there, and the second one. So it will be very high in protein. And I'm just going to cut that in small pieces. I mean, the size of pieces that you would have if you were having a meat-based curry--you would generally get pieces of meat, chunks of meat in your curry of this size. Just cutting it like that. This time maybe a little smaller. And I'm going to bring with us, to the stove, our last ingredient--some frozen peas. So now let's bring these over to the stove and get started."
