To buy

From your shelf
- 1 can thai green curry wild tuna
- 1/2 can [200 ml] coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 green chili
- 1 stalk lemongrass
Staples
- to taste salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Warm 1 tablespoon oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Bruise the lemongrass stalk by pressing it flat with the side of a knife, then add it to the pot; let it warm for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour the entire can of curry with its grains and tuna into the pot, then add 1/2 can of coconut milk and stir well. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes while the flavors meld and the curry reaches serving temperature.
- Slice the green chili thin and add 1 tablespoon of lime juice to the pot, then taste and adjust salt as needed. Remove from heat and discard the lemongrass stalk.
- Divide the curry between two bowls and top with fresh basil or cilantro, sliced green chili, and a lime wedge if you have one.
Note Swap cilantro for basil if that is what you have. The curry keeps in the refrigerator for three days. Serve with jasmine rice on the side, or use rice cakes to stretch the dish for leftovers and guests.
