APRICOT CHICKEN CURRY



Apricot Chicken Curry image

I love apricot juice as the base for this curry dish. Chicken drumsticks are an economical meat option, but any bone-in pieces would do. Hold back on the madras curry and peppers to keep this dish mild and flavorful; adjust upward if you enjoy a lot of heat! Over rice, this is a complete meal.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 chicken drumsticks
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
4 cups apricot nectar
1 teaspoon cornstarch, or as needed
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1 cup dried apricots
1 large onion, roughly chopped
1 large green bell pepper, roughly chopped
4 carrots, thinly sliced
1 fresh green chile pepper, minced
½ cup chopped water chestnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season the chicken drumsticks with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until garlic is softened and is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the drumsticks in the skillet, and brown the chicken on all sides, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the skillet to the oven.
  • Bake the chicken drumsticks in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring the apricot nectar to a boil in a large pot over medium-high eat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl; stir cornstarch mixture and curry powder into the apricot nectar. Add dried apricots. Transfer the baked drumsticks into the apricot mixture.
  • Heat the skillet used to cook the chicken over medium heat. Stir in the onion, green bell pepper, carrots, and green chile pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened. Pour the drumsticks and apricot sauce into the skillet. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water chestnuts just before serving.

APRICOT CURRY DRESSING



Apricot Curry Dressing image

Something a little different. For those on WW points ..... 1Tbps = 1 point. For those not watching their weight you can use standard ingredients :) This dressing quickly became our all time favourite. You can add more of what you like, ie, garlic or curry powder to vary the taste. If the mixture is too thick for what you want to use it for, just add some fat free or low fat milk to thin it down.

Apricots are a delicious and versatile fruit that can be used in a variety of dishes, including dressings. The sweet and tangy flavor of apricots pairs well with spicy curry, making apricot curry dressing a unique and flavorful addition to any salad or dish.

Ingredients

The ingredients for apricot curry dressing can vary depending on the recipe, but typically include:
Apricots
Fresh or dried apricots are the star ingredient of apricot curry dressing. Fresh apricots are best used in season, while dried apricots provide a longer shelf life and a more concentrated flavor.
Curry powder
Curry powder is a blend of spices that adds depth and complexity to the dressing. Common spices found in curry powder include cumin, coriander, turmeric, and ginger.
Garlic and ginger
Garlic and ginger are often used in apricot curry dressing recipes to add more flavor and depth. These two ingredients also have numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties.
Vinegar
Vinegar helps to balance the sweetness of the apricots and adds a tangy acidity to the dressing. White wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or rice vinegar are commonly used in recipes.

Preparation

Making apricot curry dressing is relatively simple and can be done in a few steps.
Puree the apricots
The first step in making apricot curry dressing is to puree the apricots. This can be done using a food processor or blender. If using fresh apricots, pit and chop them before adding them to the food processor.
Add the remaining ingredients
Once the apricots are pureed, add the curry powder, garlic, ginger, and vinegar to the food processor. Continue to blend the ingredients until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved.
Adjust seasoning
After blending the ingredients, taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Add more vinegar for a tangier taste, or more curry powder for a spicier flavor.

Uses

Apricot curry dressing is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes.
Salads
Apricot curry dressing pairs well with a variety of salad greens, including spinach, arugula, and mixed greens. The sweetness of the apricots and the spiciness of the curry powder provide a unique flavor that complements the bitterness of the greens.
Grilled poultry or seafood
Apricot curry dressing can also be used as a marinade for grilled poultry or seafood. The sweet and spicy flavors of the dressing pair well with grilled chicken or shrimp.
Vegetables
Apricot curry dressing can also be used as a dip or dressing for roasted vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, carrots, or cauliflower.

Conclusion

Apricot curry dressing is a delicious and unique condiment that adds flavor and complexity to a variety of dishes. With the right ingredients and preparation, it's easy to make and can be customized to suit individual preferences. Whether used in salads, as a marinade, or as a dip, apricot curry dressing is a great addition to any meal.
Making a delicious apricot curry dressing recipe can be a great way to spice up your salads, sandwiches, and other dishes. However, if you're not familiar with the process, it can be a bit intimidating to create something that tastes as good as you want it to. In this article, we will share some valuable tips that you can keep in mind when making an apricot curry dressing recipe.

Tip #1: Choose the Right Ingredients

One of the most important things to keep in mind when making an apricot curry dressing recipe is choosing the right ingredients. Here are some tips:
Choose Ripe Apricots
The first thing you need to do is to choose ripe apricots. Look for apricots that are golden in color, with no green spots or bruises. They should also be slightly soft to the touch. If the apricots are not ripe enough, they will not be sweet enough to make a good dressing.
Use Good-Quality Curry Powder
Curry powder is a crucial ingredient in an apricot curry dressing recipe. Make sure you choose a good-quality curry powder that is fresh and flavorful. You can either buy pre-made curry powder or make your own by blending together spices like coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon.
Choose the Right Vinegar
The vinegar you use in your apricot curry dressing recipe will have a significant impact on the flavor of the dressing. You can choose between white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or rice vinegar, depending on the taste you want to achieve.

Tip #2: Consider the Texture

Another important aspect when making an apricot curry dressing recipe is texture. You want to make sure that the texture of the dressing is smooth, creamy, and easily spreadable. Here are some tips:
Blend the Ingredients
To achieve a smooth texture, you need to blend all of the ingredients together using a blender, food processor, or immersion blender. This will help you get rid of any chunky bits of fruit or spices that may be left in the dressing.
Use a Thickening Agent
If you want your apricot curry dressing recipe to be thicker and creamier, you can use a thickening agent like mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. These ingredients will also add richness and flavor to the dressing.
Adjust the Consistency
Depending on how thick or thin you want your dressing to be, you can adjust the consistency by adding more or less vinegar or oil. Be sure to taste the dressing as you go to ensure you're getting the right balance of sweetness and tang.

Tip #3: Experiment with Flavors

When making an apricot curry dressing recipe, don't be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations. Here are some ideas to try:
Add Some Heat
One way to add some extra depth to your apricot curry dressing recipe is to add some heat. You can do this by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some red pepper flakes to the dressing.
Experiment with Herbs and Spices
Apricot curry dressing recipes are a great opportunity to experiment with different herbs and spices. Consider adding some fresh cilantro, basil, or mint to the dressing. You can also play around with different spices like cardamom or clove to create a unique flavor profile.
Try Different Sweeteners
Finally, consider using different sweeteners to add depth to your apricot curry dressing recipe. You can use honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar to achieve a more complex flavor. If you want to keep your dressing vegan, you can use agave nectar instead.

Conclusion

Making an apricot curry dressing recipe can be a fun and rewarding experience. By following these tips and playing around with different flavors and ingredients, you can create a dressing that is uniquely yours. Remember to experiment and have fun, and you're sure to create something delicious.
