05-12 Honey Mustard Chicken N Rice

Remember in second grade when you would only eat a sandwich if it had honey mustard on it?
Maybe that's why you like this dish so much.

Saute until just softened:
sesame oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 carrots, thinly sliced or julienned
(and any other veggie you want to add)
Place in 2 quart casserole and add:
1 1/2 c mixed long grain wild rice or any combination of rices
Then layer on top:
2-3 lbs (5-6) boneless chicken breasts (cut into even pieces)
Sprinkle with
salt & pepper
Pour over chicken:
2 1/2 c HOT chicken broth
Bake, covered, about 40 minutes @ 350 degrees
(If you add other veggies, check it at 30 minutes, you may need to uncover it early to let some liquids evaporate before adding the mustard sauce)
In mixing bowl, combine:
3/4 c plain yogurt
1/4 c agave or honey
2 T Dijon mustard
2 T soy sauce
1/2 T minced ginger or 1/2 t ground ginger
Pour sauce over cooked chicken and place in oven uncovered for 10 more minutes.
Serves 4-6

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.

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...

Pasta al limone

When I served at cousins beach week, it also got rave reviews (and competition for the leftovers) so it's worth sharing here. I found the recipe by Michelle Doll at Delish.com. What I love about this recipe is it is quick and easy but really it's the technique. Its similar to an Alfredo sauce but because of the way you put it together, it is very evenly distributed and doesn't feel heavy. Tastes great with fish and chicken, so far.  Cook  12 oz. spaghetti in generously salted boiling water.  While waiting for the pasta, slice of a couple thin strips from a lemon for garnish (if desired)  Zest  1 lemon into a large sauce pan (the spaghetti will go into it later)  and juice the lemon , setting the juice aside. Add 1/2 c. heavy cream and  4 Tbsp. unsalted butter to the lemon zest   and let it melt over low hea...
