    Thai Red Curry Black Bean Purses

    Thai Red Curry Black Bean Purses

    Thai red curry black bean purses are a thing my wife and I invented for my web developer class.   They are the result of our test kitchen and we failed once before getting it right.   We keep having these assignments for a fictitious restaurant's website.  People were laughing when our old friend, Black Goose Bistro popped up on our assignment list again and I thought it was nice that we were having fun.  One of the menu items sounded good to me, Black Bean Purses.

    Our rendition of the fictitious recipe

    In the description, it is just black beans with Mexican cheese in some kind of phyllo pastry shell.   I love Thai curry and we always have every kind of Thai curry paste around so we went for it.  I looked for any kind of black bean purse recipe on google and I got nothing.  Finally, I found black bean logs but no purses and I also found no real restaurant named Black Goose Bistro.  So here is what we came up with.

    First, I stopped at an Indian grocery store on the way home and asked for phyllo because the description said it was black beans and cheese in phyllo.  They had it but I also bought these puff pastry squares.  The phyllo was a fail, that version is still in our fridge from last week and neither my wife or I want it.  The puff pastry squares did better.  I fed the version of those to my class and as far as I know, they were well received.  My wife and I liked them.  My instructor took the last three home which means something like 15 were either consumed or politely disappeared.  🙂  They were super nice to try my test kitchen invention.

    I used two tablespoons of  Mae Ploy Thai Red Curry Paste which did well.  I tried more than that in the first recipe and my wife said it was too spicy although I enjoyed the spiciness.

    The first go I also used 3 cans of lite coconut milk which was too much.  This time only 2 so that they wouldn't be too runny.  We also reduced the curry down until it was mostly solid so it would hold together when eaten.  Mod, my wife said we needed to use 1 egg mixed with water brushed on for glue.  I also added no fat shredded cheese as the Black Goose Bistro Menu said it had.   Here is my final recipe.

    Ingredients:

    • ½ cup dried black beans
    • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
    • 1 chicken breast, slice into small cubes
    • 2 16 oz cans of lite coconut milk
    • 20 puff pastry squares
    • 1 egg with water mixed (1:1)
    • 1-2 cups cheese

    Instructions:

    1. Place the dried beans, chicken, coconut milk and curry paste in a rice cooker and turn it on the brown rice setting.  It will cook until done automatically.
    2. Leave the bean mixture on in the keep warm mode or simmer it until the bean mixture is thick while you prepare the pastry puff squares.
    3. Turn the oven on to 385 degrees.
    4. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the red curry bean mixture on each square and sprinkle with cheese.
    5. Rub the right and bottom of the square with water and fold the square diagonally and pinch the corners together so they hold together in the triangle shape.
    6. Brush with the egg mixture to glue the edges together.
    7. Place them on the cookie sheet with enough room so they don't get stuck together.
    8. Cook around 20-25 minutes until golden brown and serve hot if possible and share.  🙂
