Meatless Monday – Thai Red Pumpkin Curry

Serves 4

This curry is one of our favourites because it’s so simple to prepare and full of flavour. Best of all, the softness of the pumpkin and the crunch of the green beans give it lots of texture. Who needs meat, when food tastes this good? Happy Meatless Monday!
