CURRY CHICKEN WITH ASPARAGUS
I love the flavors that a good curry brings. It is a good dish to make when you have a little bit of this and a little bit of that to make a complete meal and have enough to bring to lunch the next day.

Steps:
- 1. In a heavy pan or skillet cook bacon to render fat. Add chicken pieces, salt, pepper and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- 2. In the same pan, add onion, bell pepper, and asparagus, and cook until softened. Moving the vegetables aside add tomatoe paste and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stir in the curry powder and ginger and cook a minute more. Add chicken and stir all together.
- 3. Stir in chicken broth and lower heat, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes or until chicken is done. Stir in coconut milk and simmer a few minutes more. Serve over Jasmine rice. I like to put the curry sauce on the bottom then the rice and top with meat and vegetables and then more sauce.
COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY
Curry powder is stirred into this braise only during the last minute of cooking, delivering a bright hit of spice on top of the paprika and turmeric mellowed into the slow-simmered chicken. This dish from "Burma Superstar" by Desmond Tan and Kate Leahy (Ten Speed Press, 2017), needs time on the stove but not much attention, and gets even better after resting in the fridge, making it an ideal weeknight meal that can last days. There's plenty of coconut milk broth to spoon over rice or noodles. At his restaurant, Burma Superstar in Oakland, Calif., Mr. Tan also serves this with platha, a buttery, flaky Burmese flatbread, for dipping.

Steps:
- Trim the chicken thighs of excess fat and cut into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces; transfer to a bowl. Add the paprika, turmeric and salt, and use your hands to mix well. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high. Stir in the onions, lower the heat to medium-low and cook gently, stirring often to prevent scorching, until tender and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring often, until most of the water from the onions has been cooked out and a glossy layer of oil has risen to the surface, about 5 minutes more.
- Add the marinated chicken and stir to release the spices into the onion. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a near boil. Let the coconut milk simmer briskly for about 4 minutes to thicken a bit. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the fish sauce. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a near boil. The broth will thin out as the chicken starts to release its juices.
- Lower to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Droplets of paprika-red oil will rise to the surface. Stir in the curry powder and cayenne, simmer briefly and remove from the heat.
- If time permits, let the curry sit for at least 20 minutes before serving. This allows the chicken to soak in more flavors as the curry cools. Bring to a simmer again right before serving and taste, adding more salt or fish sauce if desired. Serve over rice or noodles, with bowls of cilantro and lime wedges.
CURRY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES
A hint of curry makes this meal-in-one a vibrant change of pace from weeknight staples. "I like to add a dash of red pepper flakes to the stir-fry for extra spice," shares Judie White of Florien, Louisiana.
