Vegetable Red Thai Curry

This flavorful vegetarian Thai red curry recipe matches sweet potatoes with fresh greens beans and zucchini, though you can substitute any of the veggies. If you’re using cauliflower or sweet potato, add them first as they will take longer to cook than green beans.

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Steamed jasmine rice, to serve
