Steven and I have vowed to cook more in 2005. The only question is, what should we cook? We are looking for things that are delicious, but not too complicated. In the spirit of sharing, I post the delightful chicken curry Pierre taught me how to make.
2 chicken breats (or 4 boneless thighs) (or one of those mammoth double breasts)
2 tablespoons green curry paste (3 if you like it hot)
2 cans coconut milk
1 can bamboo shoots
1 can mushrooms / baby corn / water chestnuts
1. Cut up your chicken to the size you'd like to have in your curry (1 inch cubes or smaller). Open your cans.
2. Heat up your wok/large pot to high. Add the curry paste, and stir it around until it is "fragrant", and a little browned.
3. Add chicken. Cook chicken and curry until the chicken is almost totally cooked.
4. Add contents of cans.
5. Simmer for 45 minutes.
This makes enough for 4-6. It can also be frozen for later use. Should be accompanied with rice. Also can be doubled, for more freezing delightfulness.
Now please send me your recipes, so I don't have to eat this every day!
