Red curry with prunes and gambas
It was an experiment but turned out really well and I think now it’ll be on the list of our family comfort foods. On a cold and rainy September, this hot dish will certainly make you feel better.
The prunes may be a surprising ingredient, but actually they fall apart and become part of the spicy-sweet coconut sauce, so it’s really hard to say they are still there. Yet they make the dish very light and fresh and… Oh, just try it and you’ll see!

- 2 zucchinis, chopped but not too small
- around 15 green prunes
