Beef cheeks are a cut that rewards patience. Slow-braised for hours, the collagen breaks down into the cooking liquid, leaving the meat incredibly tender and full of flavour.

At Farang, we use grass-fed beef from Swaledale Butchers in the Yorkshire Dales; a supplier we’ve worked with for years. The quality really matters in a dish like this.

The secret is in the sauce: we reduce the braising liquid and fold it back into the curry with coconut milk and our Payst Yellow Curry (Gaeng Gari) paste. Rich, warming and aromatic, with less chilli heat than a red or green curry.

Then it’s finished with jasmine rice, lemongrass, lime leaf, red chilli and sweet basil; bringing freshness, acidity and crunch to balance the richness.

If you're making it with fish, white fish or prawns work beautifully too. Swap the beef stock for fish or chicken stock for a lighter summer version, and finish with a squeeze of kalamansi lime if you can find it.

But if you’re not in a hurry and fancy a slow braise... then a little patience goes a long way.

Fresh mussels, fragrant green curry and plenty of Thai basil... what’s not to love? 🦪🌿

Our Green Curry of Mussels with Thai Basil brings together the briny sweetness of fresh mussels with the aromatic heat of Thai green curry and the unmistakable fragrance of fresh Thai basil.

Mussels can seem a little daunting to cook at home, but they really shouldn’t be. The rules are simple: buy them alive, give them a good clean under cold running water, remove any beards and barnacles, and discard any cracked or open shells that don’t close when tapped. Once cooked, simply discard any mussels that haven’t opened.

And there’s one more thing worth knowing; mussels are at their best in the UK from September through to April. During the warmer months they spawn, which can affect the texture and quality of the meat, so stick to the R-month rule for the best results.
