GREEN CURRY CHICKEN
Steps:
- Place a large, deep skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. Saute the onion and green peppers for 3 minutes to soften. Split the piece of lemongrass down the middle and whack it with the flat side of a knife to open the flavor. Add the lemongrass, ginger, curry paste and lime leaves to the skillet and stir for 2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Lay the chicken pieces in the mixture to poach; add a pinch of salt. Stir together and simmer over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Squeeze in the lime juice and shower with basil and cilantro; serve in dinner bowls with lime wedges.
- Heat the coriander, cumin seeds, and peppercorns in a small dry skillet for 2 minutes until fragrant. Put the seeds in a clean coffee grinder or spice mill and buzz the spices to a powder.
- Put the spice blend and remaining ingredients in a food processor, and pulse to combine. Pour in the water to help grind everything down into a paste.
CLASSIC THAI GREEN CURRY CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Place all the "green curry paste" ingredients together in a food processor and process to a paste. If needed, add a few tablespoons of coconut milk (the lower liquid part of the can) to help blend ingredients. Set aside.
- Prepare the lime leaves by tearing the leaf away from either side of the stem. Discard the central stem. Then using scissors, cut leaves into thin strips. Set aside.
- Warm a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl around, then add the green curry paste. Stir-fry briefly to release the fragrance (1 minute), then add 3/4 of the coconut milk, reserving roughly 1/4 for later.
- Add the chicken, stirring to incorporate. When the curry sauce comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium or medium-low, until you get a nice simmer. Cover and allow to simmer 5 to 8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Stir occasionally.
- Add the zucchini and tomatoes, plus the strips of the lime leaf (or lime zest), stirring well to incorporate. Simmer another 4 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are softened but still formed and colorful.
- Do a taste-test for salt, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons fish sauce if not salty enough. If you prefer a sweeter curry, add a little more sugar. If too salty or sweet for your taste, add a squeeze of lime or lemon juice. If too spicy, add more coconut milk. Note that this curry should be a balance of salty, spicy, sweet and sour, plus bitter.
- Serve in bowls with rice on the side, allowing guests to add their own. Top each portion with a drizzle of 2 to 3 tablespoons reserved coconut milk, plus a sprinkling of fresh basil. Additional chopped red or green chile can be added for those who like it spicy.
