Chicken Vegetable Curry

A few years ago my husband discovered a delicious Thai restaurant in town, and he immediately fell in love with their curry. He kept telling me we needed to figure out how to make it. I kept putting him off because Thai food is not always my favorite. Then last fall my little sister made us this delicious chicken vegetable curry. It is amazing. It has a little sweet from the coconut milk, and some spice. It is based on a recipe from Favorite Family Recipes, but with a few additions. The ingredient list is a little long, but don't let it overwhelm you, this is actually a pretty easy recipe. We usually half it for our family of four, and we always have leftovers. Which is fine with us because it is yummy for days.

Ingredients:

3 T Vegetable Oil

4 oz. Jar Curry Paste

2 Cans Coconut Milk

1/2 t Ginger Powder

2 T Chopped Cilantro

2 T Brown Sugar

2 T Fish Sauce

1 T Lime Juice

1 T Worcestershire Sauce

1 Small Onion, sliced

4-5 Medium Potatoes, cut into cubes

2 Carrots, sliced

1 Green Pepper, sliced

1 Red or Yellow Pepper Sliced

Sugar Snap Peas, They go in whole. Just add a couple handfuls until it looks like a good amount.

1-2 T Peanut Butter

Siracha Sauce

Red Pepper Flakes

Serve over rice.

Directions:

1. In a large pan, I use my wok, Heat the oil, and add the curry paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

2. Add one can of coconut milk, and mix together.

3. Add ginger, cilantro, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and Worcestershire sauce. Mix in and bring to a boil.

4.Add onion and chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

5. Add the last can of coconut milk and bring it back to a boil.

6. Add in the potatoes, carrots, peppers and peas. Mix in the peanut butter. Squeeze in some siracha sauce. There's no real measurement, Sprinkle some red pepper flakes. Stir everything together and simmer for about 20 minutes while all the vegetables soften.

7. Serve over rice.

Just typing this makes me want a bowl of curry right now. It's so good! It's a great meal for fall because it is so warm and filling.
