Sweet Potato Curry

Ingredients for Sweet Potato Curry

• 1 lemongrass stalk, tough outer layer removed, coarsely chopped

• 1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, chopped

• 4 spicchi d'aglio

• 2 cucchiai di olio vegetale

• Sale kosher

• 60ml red curry paste

• 2 cucchiai di concentrato di pomodoro

• 1 (400g) can crushed tomatoes

• 2 (375g) cans coconut milk

• 675g sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1" pieces

• 350g small or young carrots, peeled, cut on a diagonal into 2" pieces

• 6 medium shallots, peeled keeping roots intact, quartered lengthwise

• 1 red Thai chilli, thinly sliced (optional)

• 1 cucchiaio di succo di lime fresco

• Steamed jasmine rice (for serving)

• Thinly sliced spring onions, basil leaves, coriander leaves with tender stems, and lime wedges (for serving)

Pulse lemongrass, ginger, and garlic in a food processor until very finely chopped.

Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add lemongrass mixture and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes; season with salt. Add curry and tomato pastes and cook, stirring, until darkened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in coconut milk; season with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until curry is rich and full of flavour, 20–25 minutes.

Add sweet potatoes and carrots, then pour in water to cover. Partially cover pot and cook until carrots are crisp-tender, 10–15 minutes. Add shallots and cook until potatoes are tender and shallots are soft, 15–20 minutes.

Add chilli, if desired, and lime juice to curry and spoon over rice. Top with spring onions, basil, and coriander; serve with lime wedges.

Curry can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
