11-29 Coconut "Curry"

This "curry" doesn't even have curry powder in it. Turns out curry is a term from the Indian word 'kari' meaning sauce. So you may like some "curries" more than you'd think. This one, I am confident, you will!
This is a basic recipe, if you like it, add more or different vegetables next time.

Prepare a 1 lb of Chinese egg or stir fry noodles or any other long Asian noodle
(Soba noodles work well and taste even better if cooked in chicken broth)
Prepare 2-3 hard boiled eggs - use half an egg for each serving.

Mix together:
1 1/2 T soy sauce
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1 T fresh (or 2 t dry) ginger, minced
1 t turmeric
Toss with
1 lb chicken breasts, cut in 1 inch cubes (you can use cooked chicken, no need to sauté)
Sauté in skillet the uncooked chicken until no longer pink, remove and set aside.

Sauté in same pan:
sesame oil
1 small onion, chopped
Stir in
1 t paprika
Now add the chicken and
20 oz of unsweetened coconut milk
2 1/2 c chicken broth
Simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Add:
1/2 - 1 c fresh peas, thawed if frozen
Thicken soup by removing a ladle full and mix with
1/4 c flour
Return resulting paste to soup and mix through.

Serve soup over individual bowls of cooked noodles with 1/2 of a sliced hard boiled egg and sprinkle with cilantro, sliced green onions and a squirt of lime juice.

  1. yum!
    nick loves this version of curry...the boiled egg and fresh cilantro and noodles give it some good variety from the curries we usually do.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
