Procedure
Step 1
Onions: Put the onions in a basin together with salt. Leave for 5 minutes and toss them in flour. Fry on medium heat until golden brown and place them on absorbent paper.
Step 2
Vegetables: In a pot, fry the spring onion, garlic, and leek in olive oil until they soften but do not get coloured. Add the vegetable stock, curry and coconut cream and bring to the boil.
Step 3
Boil the peas in a pot of salted water for 2 minutes and freeze them in a bowl of ice and water. We do the same with the beans. After the sauce has glazed, add them to the pot and add the zest and juice of the lime.
Step 4
Onions: Put all the ingredients in a pot. Cover and cook over low heat until all the liquid is absorbed. Keep them covered off the fire for another 10 minutes. Then, mix with a fork until fluffy. Serve the vegetables and the sauce, accompanied by the rice and the crispy onion.
