Method

  • 1.
    Heat the coconut oil in a large wide-based pan over medium heat. Add the onion and capsicum, and cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the curry paste and garlic, and cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • 2.
    Add the coconut water, beef stock, palm sugar, lemongrass and the torn kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Add the pumpkin and apple. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until reduced by a third.
  • 3.
    Add the lamb fillets, coating them in the sauce, then cook for 5 minutes, turning once. Turn off the heat, and set aside for 3 minutes to allow the lamb to rest in the sauce. Add the lime juice and fish sauce, and stir to combine. There should be a balance of sweet, salty and sour flavours.
  • 4.
    Divide the rice and lamb into serving bowls, spoon over sauce, and top with coriander leaves, fried kaffir lime leaves and lime wedges.
