Instructions
- Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add ginger and lemongrass. Cook for a couple of minutes, careful not to burn. Add red curry paste and cook a further minute or until fragrant.
- Next add stock and kaffir limes leaves. Bring to the boil and turn to simmer, uncovered, for approx. 15 – 20 minutes or until sauce has thickened slightly. When ready run sauce through a sieve to remove bits of ginger, lemongrass and lime leaves. Return strained liquid to the pan and add spring onion and green peppercorns. Keep warm over a low heat.

- Add pork, peppers and aubergine to the curry stock. Raise temperature to medium heat nad cook until pork is just done. Do not overcook as the pork will become tough and the vegetables soggy.
- Remove curry from heat. Scatter with basil leaves and serve hot with rice and additional wedges of lime.
