02-05 Tandoori Chicken

This SO good and well worth the time...
To make marinade, mix: (it won't seem like enough but it will be)
2 T soy sauce
1 t ground cumin
1 t ground tumeric
1/4 t crushed red pepper ( its spicy so leave this out if you don't want it)
1 t orange zest
Mix well and add:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken cut into strips/cubes OR cooked chicken, shredded
*If using raw chicken, marinate for 20-30 min. in fridge. Otherwise just set aside.
Make curry-yogurt sauce:
1/2 c plain yogurt
1/4 c tomato sauce
1/3 t curry powder**
1/8 t sugar
a bit of pepper
(really, it will be good!)Place in fridge.
=Prep carrots & onions - see below - while marinading/cooking chicken=
Cook chicken in 1 -2 t sesame oil About 3 min if cooked chicken, 8 min if raw. Set aside.
Saute:
1-2 T sesame oil
1 1/2 c julienne-cut carrots
8 green onions, sliced
for about 10 minutes, until tender.
Mix in chicken mix and
1/4 c fresh cilantro leaves, torn
Stir and remove from heat.
Serve on tortillas with spoonful of yogurt sauce and spoonful of
mango or apple-cranberry chutney -buy it!(you might be able to substitute a bit of jam)
Roll up into a wrap and enjoy!
You could serve it on white/brown rice also.
**Turns out that curry powder is a mixture of cumin, tumeric and a couple other spices so you can interchange curry powder for cumin & tumeric in most recipes...

Everyone really liked it, Ani ate two! I think the flavors were a bit complex for Bri but she ate it.

Leftover sauces:
The next day when everyone took all the chicken for lunches and I only had plain cooked chicken in the fridge left with the sauces, I put the sauces and plain chicken, with some curry powder sprinkled on top, into a tortilla and it was good! I missed the carrots so I put chopped fresh baby spinach in it or you could just eat them on the side raw.

05-09 Mother's Day Eggs

"Eggs a la Goldenrod" is a Cooper recipe. Grandma says she has eaten it at a restaurant. This has become our Mother's day breakfast tradition served with fresh fruit (I like the grapes and strawberries), sometimes crispy bacon, fried apples and orange juice. Guess that is what you kids always thought was the perfect breakfast =) I have always liked it! Prepare 6-8 hard boiled eggs (It makes about as many servings as eggs used) Separate the yolks from the whites. Chop the whites Crumble the yolks To make sauce, melt over medium heat: 6 T unsalted butter Then whisk in 6 T flour Add in slowly, whisking constantly 3 c milk (don't use nonfat) Sprinkle with salt and pepper When thickened and bubbly, stir in whites and remove from heat. Serve this sauce over a piece of toast Sprinkle on 1/6 of the egg yolks and paprika Viola!

Nordic curry

This is a mild anytime curry.  Takes 10-15 minutes. The original (dairy) sauce is from Magnus Nilsson. I double the sauce so there's plenty. Especially because I like to add vegetables and proteins. I always add the apples, sometimes skip the onion. Leftover roasted root vegetables tasted great. Regular supermarket yellow curry powder is perfect. Serve it over rice or with naan. Be generous with the salt and pepper.  Melt 4 T butter over medium heat in a sauté pan (wide, shallow).  Sprinkle in 4 T yellow curry powder and stir to combine.  Add 1-2 tart apple (Granny Smith), cored and chopped or cubed & 1 onion, finely chopped. When apples and onion are softened, sprinkle them with 2 T flour . Stir to evenly coat all.  Add 1 1/2 c heavy cream OR coconut cream , slowly, a bit at a time, whisking constantly to keep lumps at bay. When smooth, add in 1 1/2 c milk OR coconut milk in the same manner. Allow to begin to bubble and thicken before serving. Season gen...
