Coconut Curry Chicken

Is there a type of curry that isn't delicious? The answer, my friends, is no. This is a beautifully fragrant and delicious meal. Perfect after a long day of work!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup jasmine rice

14 ounce can coconut milk

1 yellow onion

2 plum tomatoes

1/2 pound chicken breast

2 teaspoons curry powder

salt, pepper, sugar, oil, vinegar

Method:

In a small saucepan, combine rice, 1 1⁄4 cups water, and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt . Bring to a boil over high. Cover and cook over low heat until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

While rice cooks, halve onion lengthwise and thinly slice. Cut tomatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned.

Pat chicken dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Add to skillet with onions along with 1 tablespoon oil. Cook until just browned, stirring halfway through cooking time. Add curry powder and tomatoes; cook, stirring, until fragrant.

Add coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through. Stir in 1⁄2 teaspoon vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve coconut curry chicken over rice. Enjoy!

Raspberry Pomegranate Jam

Tis the season to be making homemade gifts! Pomegranates are in season and their juice is a festive deep ruby red color. I knew I had to make them into a jam to give away. Straight pomegranate flavor is a little tart for me; I added raspberries for the texture of their seeds and their sweetness. This is a very simple recipe to make and will yield 6 to 7 8 ounces jars of jam or 12 to 14 4 ounce jars, if you like to give away sample sizes during the holidays. Enjoy! Ingredients: 3 1/2 cups pomegranate juice 1 cup mashed raspberries 7 cups sugar 1 tablespoon butter 1 1/75 ounce package Sure Jell Method: Sterilize your jars and lids. Set aside. In a heavy bottomed large stock pot, add the pomegranate juice, raspberries and butter. Mix well. Add in the sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil then stir in the Sure Jell. Allow to boil hard for 1 minutes. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam. Ladle into the sterile jars, twist on the lids and pr

My grandma, Mimi, taught me this recipe. I used to make this with her and my mother as a child. It is my very favorite dessert. It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to eat. My favorite part of making this as a child was dusting every bar generously with snowy white powdered sugar. My favorite version of this dessert uses canned blueberry pie filling; I vastly prefer Libby brand over the store brand. You can make blueberry pie filling from scratch with sugar, cornstarch, bleberries, etc. but using the canned stuff is easy in a pinch and is much for nostalgic for me. Plus, I don’t notice a vast improvement over my homemade blueberry pie filling and the Libby brand; it just takes me longer to put this dessert together. I have been known to whip up a pan of these Friday night and have them disappear by Saturday afternoon. Be warned, these things are addictive! Ingredients: 3 cups of all-purpose flour 2 cups of granulated sugar 4 eggs 2 sticks of

Samosas with Yogurt Sauce

I love exploring many kinds of cuisine in my kitchen because I can control the spice level, and in the case of this recipe, the use of cilantro. Cilantro lovers out there- sub it info the parsley here. I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, which limits my ability to enjoy some dishes in restaurants, but is easily rectified in my own kitchen. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients: 3 russet potatoes 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped 2 teaspoons curry powder 5 ounces peas Six 8 inch flour tortillas 4 ounces Greek yogurt Oil, salt, pepper, vinegar 4 tablespoons butter Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
