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.

    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.

Mexetti Squash

So I wanted to use the spaghetti squash but I wasn't in the mood for the usual Italian meatball pseudo-spaghetti. I also wanted something just as quick and easy so I browsed around on the internet and got an idea to use Mexican flavors. Here is what I served everyone tonight so we can remember it. There are no real measurements since every squash is a different size. Cut a spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. In a microwaveable dish, place one half skin side down so it can be filled with: cooked, cut up chicken diced Hatch chiles zucchini, chopped finely red bell pepper, chopped finely onion, chopped finely OR onion powder sprinkled on top Sprinkle it all with a little salt, pepper and cumin and shredded Jack, Manchego or other cheese Pour some enchilada sauce over it all. Add some heat with salsa, chile powder or whatever you like or not. Cover and cook- I microwaved a large half for about 15 minutes The smaller half only took 10 minutes. I served i...

Pasta al limone

 Basically it's Lemon Spaghetti. I needed a side dish for a friend's seafood lunch and this was perfect. 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...
