Susie's Leaning Tower of Chocolate for 2004 January 15 (entry 1)

(2) Thu Jan 15 2004 20:02 MST Even More Yummy Recipes: I made the best dinner ever tonight. I love this great curry we get at this Thai restaurant in town. Little did I know that when I got a recipe for coconut curry sauce on Food 911 the other day I would be making something just as yummy!

Here is the Susie-fied version, extended from a sauce into a delicious meal! I only used about half of the sauce to feed me and John. Remember to shake and stir your coconut milk before using... trust me on this one.

Coconut Curry Chicken
Sauce
¼ c. coconut
1 T curry powder
1 c. chicken stock
1 c. coconut milk
1 c. cashews
pepper

Mix with nifty hand blender.

Everything Else
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion, diced
chicken, cubed
1 c. peas
rice

Boil potatoes until tender.  Cook onion in olive oil.  Add chicken.  When chicken is cooked, add sauce, peas and potatoes.  Cover and boil for a while.  Serve over rice.

I don't understand why recipes call for 1 cup or 2 cups of something that comes in a 14 oz can. What do you do with the extra? We have plenty of room in our fridge so I kept it. For now.

You couldn't possibly be referring to Thai Chili Gardens?  I LOVE that place!!!  And I miss it.  You must try their coconut rice pudding with mango for dessert.  Out of this world.  Eat one for me!

Lots of people when they need a cup of chicken stock just make up a boullion cube.  I never have because I don't like how they taste.  Coconut milk, I have heard, makes a wonderful pancake syrup.
