Thai yellow curry and 15 minute Naan bread

Thai yellow curry and 15 minute Naan bread

Thai Yellow Chicken Curry that is savory+sweet, comforting, spicy, soul-hugging, and generally puts everyone in a good mood. So delish the kitchen table finally quiets down to slurp it up and all is right with the world. Here you will find a few recipes: 1. Roasted Curry paste base (make ahead but enough for 3-4 curry nights*45 minutes) 2.Yellow curry bowl (30 minutes) 3. Less than 15 minute garlic naan bread Using all things you can find in a Basic Grocery  store+Maybe in the ethnic food isle. (lemongrass paste is found in the produce section near the lettuce btw) CURRY PASTE INGREDIENTS: 4 large shallots 4 large heads of garlic (not individual cloves – FULL HEADS of garlic) 6-inch piece of fresh ginger 7-15 whole Thai chili peppers 1 1/2 tablespoons salt+sprinkles of pepper 3 tablespoons turmeric 3 tablespoons curry powder 2 teaspoons roasted ground coriander 3 tablespoons lemongrass paste 1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves+stems CURRY PASTE DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange in a single layer-halved shallots+garlic, and sliced up ginger. Drizzle with oil, pinch of salt+pepper and wrap each head of garlic in foil. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the ginger then increase the temperature to 400, continue to roast the shallots+garlic for another 30 minutes until golden brown and your kitchen smells heavenly. Lets make this paste! Throw all the roasted goods+herbs+spices+chiles into a food processor/blender (Once the heads of garlic are cooled you can squeeze the cloves out of the rest of the paper casings.) Pulse or puree until the yellow curry paste reaches a smooth consistency. Paste keeps well in the freezer but triple bag it. No one wants curry flavored otter pops. This mega batch makes 3+ nights worth of curry paste using 1/3 C. or more each time. YELLOW CURRY INGREDIENTS: drizzle of olive oil half a yellow onion, thinly sliced 1 pound hand shred large pieces of rotisserie chicken (or pan fry a few chicken breasts with s+p+garlic seasoning) 1/3 cup yellow curry paste 10 baby golden yukon potatoes, halved 1 14-ounce can coconut CREAM (this is not coconut milk:) 1/2 cup water 2 teaspoons fish sauce closed handful brown sugar cilantro + jasmine rice for serving DIRECTIONS: LETS PARTY. 1. On medium/low heat, saute onion slices+a drizzle of olive oil for a few minutes until fragrant- Add the chicken -if pan frying- saute for 3ish minutes-flipping once the edges seem to be cooked once chicken has a nice little crust but not cooked through add curry paste+the potatoes and stir to coat. If using rotisserie, add it in after the this next step+potatoes are fork tender. 2. Add the coconut cream +1/2 cup water to the pot – simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken and potatoes are fully cooked, adding more water depending on the consistency you want for the sauce. 3. Stir in the fish sauce+brown sugar. Honestly the fish sauce and sugar combo makes this dish so authentic. Seriously so so good. Serve over sticky jasmine rice. top with cilantro. Pick it all up with a giant torn piece of piping hot buttery garlic naan, watch lalaland and go to bed early. BUTTERY GARLIC NAAN: 2 ways! This Simple Garlic Naan is so quick to make and did I mention no baking. You can make this in a skillet or griddle on the stove top. 2+1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups Greek yogurt 1/2 tsp fine sea salt 1+1/2 T. Baking powder Olive oil Toppings: Butter garlic parsley cilantro etc Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Mix with a fork for about 5 seconds. Add yogurt into the flour mixture. Mix well with a fork until a thick paste-like dough is formed. Heavily flour the counter, your hands and rolling pin. Once you form a ball, knead the dough for about 5 minutues or until the dough is smooth. Divide into 10 equal parts. Heat skillet or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle with a little oil. Add each naan and reduce heat to medium. Watch for it to begin to bubble. The oil makes a difference in allowing the naan to puff up and bubble. Cook for about 2 minutes on the first side and then flip and cook for 1 minute longer. Watch the naan carefully as you may want to lower the heat if it becomes too brown too fast. Remove from pan and brush with melted butter and serve immediately! GARLIC BUTTER: 1 stick salted butter 2 tsp dried minced garlic 2 pinches minced cilantro LETS GO! Once the dough has sat for 20 minutes, punch it back down and then divide the dough into 6 roughly equal balls. Place one ball on a floured board and use your hands or a rolling pin to form the naan breads into oval/teardrop shapes (ensure they will fit in your skillet/griddle). Put a heavy skillet/griddle over a high heat and allow it to get searingly hot. Place the dough onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, it should start to puff up and charr lightly. Flip the bread and cook for a further 1minute or less. Remove to a plate and drizzle with the garlic butter. Cover with foil and keep in a warming drawer or serve as the troops roll in. We also love using this non-for Passover, Easter time, resurrection, Bethlehem dinners And an occasional last supper spread.

Cajun chicken pasta

Cajun chicken pasta

We love this pasta so much and try different versions depending upon what we have in the pantry. Using our favorite 20 year old pans from allclad !! Sometimes it’s tequila instead of white wine and with a jalapeño cilantro cream sauce or we’ll trade the chicken out for Italian sausage etc. Have fun! This night we did Cajun chicken. Here’s how: CHOP: 1 red onion 2 bell peppers 3-4 garlic cloves 4 san marzano tomatoes or fresh Roma’s if you have them HEAT up butter+olive oil s+p+ sprinkle of Cajun seasoning with peppers onions+garlic. Cook over high heat for 1 minute, stirring gently and trying to get the vegetables as dark/black as possible. Add the tomatoes and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove all the vegetables from the skillet and place in a bowl. CHICKEN time.. season both sides with s+p+Cajun seasoning (about 1.5 teaspoons for the two) add a little more butter+olive oil to the *seasoned pan I’m not gonna tell you how to cook chicken but I’ll give you a tip… I cook it on high heat and I don’t flip it until the edges are mostly cooked. Then flip and sometimes if they are fat ones I put a lid on it. Ok now that the chicken is done.. let them rest on top of the veggies( this is key- alllllll that glorious chicken juice will drip on down to the veggies while they wait for their cream bath) On high heat add in: 1/2 cup white white +2 cups broth Cool for a good 3 min-scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in 1cup cream, stirring/whisking constantly. Cook the sauce over medium-low heat for a few minutes, until the cream starts to thicken the mixture. Taste+add freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and/or salt to taste. ADD back in the veggies to the sauce, making sure to include ALL the juices that have drained into that bowl. Now add your pasta noodles and stir and cook until the mixture is bubbly and hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add in your beautifully sliced up chicken and voila😘👌🏼🤸🏽‍♀️ invite some friends over.. preferably ones that make bread ;) and dig in! We topped with fresh Parmesan+parsley nerf guns optional.

Marshmallow Caramel Scotch Kisses

Marshmallow Caramel Scotch Kisses

(BLOG UPDATE) TIME SAVING HACK: Pick up the 5 lb brick of Peters caramel from Gygi's next time you are in south Salt Lake City + a double broiler. heat up, slice mallows and you are ready to go! TAP IMAGES TO SHOP Brit's MUST HAVES: Double broiler linked here Peters caramel linked here 5 x 5 cellophane wrappers linked here These butterscotch covered marshmallows are divine! Best part- it makes a giant batch to enjoy and enough to give to neighbors! Have you ever had Sees Scotch Kisses or Scotchmallows? Just dip these babies in dark chocolate after and you’ve got both. Our family loves making these. Such a fun activity with jobs for everyone. Prepping the parchment wrappers, cutting the mallows, stirring the caramel, and gather everyone back in to wrap! 1 pint whipping cream 1 c. White sugar 3/4 c. light corn syrup 1/8 tsp. salt 1 bag regular marshmallows, cut in halves
Combine cream, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a DEEP medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring occasionally for about 20 min- mixture will be pale yellow at first, but will turn a butterscotch-deeper caramel color as it comes up to temperature. Watch for the consistency to thicken as well. Remove from heat; let sit a few minutes until mixture begins to thicken slightly-about 3 minutes- it will look a little thicker than when you took it off the stove-if it's boiling hot, the marshmallows will melt on contact. While you wait for the butterscotch to thicken and cool slightly- with freshly washed scissors cut each marshmallow in half. (Might need to wash in between a few times) Using plastic chopsticks or wooden skewers, Dip each marshmallow half in the butterscotch to coat, letting the excess drip off; place on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Let sit, uncovered, overnight or until they set a bit. Wrap individually in parchment paper.
Here’s the magic part: The marshmallow breaks down when it’s dipped in the liquid lava and transforms into another texture completely but doesn’t fall apart.. when you wrap- tuck the mallow in tight and roll making it a cylinder shape. Makes a bazillion. Or like 100 Here’s a picture of them all set and ready to be wrapped in the morning. Do half your batch this way and see how you like it!
If you boil the caramel too long it will turn to toffee-but don’t worry! This has happened to me a few times.. just add in MORE cream a splash at a time until it is stirrable- drop a little in ice water and if it turns to a Werthers original.. add more cream too much and you’ve now made caramel sauce which isn’t a terrible thing either ;) Never made caramels from SCRATCH? Here is our favorite tried and true recipe that works every time. Fleur de Sel Caramel: 30ish minutes, plus cooling RECIPE: 4 tablespoons unsalted butter +more for the pan 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, not ultrapasteurized 2 cups sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup Pinch salt 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1. Lightly grease a 9-inch-square baking pan. Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a broad saucepan or deep skillet and turn heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. 2. Mixture will bubble and darken; when color is dark beige and mixture measures 235 degrees on a candy thermometer, it is butterscotch sauce. (Use immediately or refrigerate for up to several weeks; warm in a microwave oven or over hot water to soften.) To make caramels, keep cooking and stirring until mixture is even darker, nearly brown, and measures 245 degrees (or until a piece of it forms a firm ball when dropped into a glass of cold water). 3. Stir in the vanilla and pour into prepared pan. Cool, then remove from pan in a block and refrigerate, but not for too long -- what you want is a mixture cool enough so that it's not too sticky, but not so cold that it's solid; this is the easiest state in which to cut and wrap. 4. Use a sharp knife to cut caramel into pieces, then wrap each square in waxed paper or plastic wrap. These keep for weeks, especially if refrigerated, but are best eaten fresh and at room temperature. Yield: At least 50 caramels. NYT besssssst caramel recipe that doesnt stick to your teeth ;)

White Queso dip+home made tortilla chips with chunky salt

White Queso dip+home made tortilla chips with chunky salt

Que-so...who's making dinner tonight to go with this? {oh yeah, thats right.. me+instant pot LBH} We first had this queso at Miguels on Coronado when we lived in La Jolla.. they served it with grilled bread+a spicy marinara sauce as well. I don't even know what we ordered. But this queso was always a must- and lets be honest, this is why we came. My recipe is inspired by Miguels but we kicked it up a notch. you know.. with covid.. we all need things a little saltier, spicier so we added a kick to it. ingredients: 2cups whipping cream 1 cup sour cream/ greek yogurt 2 heaping spoonfuls chicken bouillon paste OR 2-3 cubes/tubes make a roux: 2 tablespoons clarified butter 1 tablespoon flour 1 jalapeno pepper, minced- no seeds 1 tablespoon jalapeno juice, from bottled jalapeno 1 handful mixture of cheddar+monterey jack cheese, shredded Heat whipping cream in a heavy saucepan over high heat. Stir in sour cream when it's ready to boil. After sour cream dissolves, reduce heat to medium. Stir in chicken broth concentrate and jalapeno sauce and simmer. Meanwhile, make a roux by heating butter and flour. Whisk until mixture turns a pale gold. Increase heat on cream mixture until almost boiling and then add roux. Whisk briskly and constantly until roux is incorporated. Remove from heat, stir in minced jalapeno and the cheeses. Can be served with warm homemade tortilla chips, grilled bread, 3 hour pork carnitas or over homemade tamales. Want to learn how to make fresh tortilla chips? ok here goes.. Using your kitchen shears take a stack of three corn tortillas and cut them in half- giving you 6 half moons. Now take those and cut them again but now in thirds giving you three little pizza slice stacks for each side. Heat either corn or vegetable oil over medium heat while you prepare a plate with a paper towel-to absorb any extra oil. Place tortilla wedges in oil and wait until the brown up or puff up slighty and turn over using a spider or slotted spoon only a couple minutes per side. Once they have turned slighty golden, immediately remove and place on paper towel+sprinkle with chunky salt+seasoning. ( we like garlic seasoning, chipotle seasoning, treager steak rub is great too!)
