Green Curry Chicken with Sweet Potato - WwDH



Wednesday has arrived and with it, another delicious meal thanks to Donna Hay.  This week's dish is Green Curry Chicken with Sweet Potato from Off the Shelf.  The chicken is cooked in curry paste, coconut cream and broth with cilantro and lime flavoring.  Doesn't that sound mouthwatering?  I owe thanks to Gaye who made the selection.

 I did not to get to make mine on Tuesday night, which is what I usually do, to ensure posting on time.  I cooked this morning but it is for dinner tonight and I have not tasted it yet.  I am looking forward to it.  The flavors in this dish sounds appealing and the dish looks good.

 I made a few substitutions.  I didn't have curry paste but I have some wonderful Indian curry powder which I used.  Instead of coconut cream which I have never seen, in the stores, I used coconut milk.  I did not have kaffir leaves so I used lime juice. I topped it with some chives from my garden.

 I plan to make quinoa to go with this for dinner.  I am thinking to add spinach to the quinoa and to cook this in vegetable broth.

 Do drop in on Gaye, Margaret, Sarah and Kayte  and see what they have come up with.

    I think coconut milk is just fine. I used low fat coconut cream. Hope you enjoy it.

    How was it? I had access to lime leaves and really liked how that made it smell: a bit more aromatic. I think with lime juice would also add that little extra note of interest.

      Sarah, We liked it a lot. I love how the sweet potatoes set off the chicken and the coconut milk did seem to work well.

    Hi Chaya,
    This dish looks delicious! The combination of sweet potatoes and chicken sounds good! I have a kaffir lime plant in my garden pot. If you are nearby, would be happy to give some leaves to you, it is extremely fragrant and adds a wonderful limey aroma to dishes!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
