Thai Chicken


3 cloves garlic, chopped
Vegetable or olive oil
2-3 Tbsp Ginger
1 - 13.5 oz can coconut milk
2 Tbsp red curry paste


Sauté garlic in oil. Add ginger and coconut milk. Stir in red curry paste and mix. Allow to simmer until slightly reduced. Serve with basmati rice and grilled chicken.


- For ginger, I cheat and use the stuff that comes in a tube from the refrigerated herb section at the grocery store. I’m sure freshly grated would be better.
-Coconut milk - don’t use light. We like the Chaokoh brand of coconut milk (comes in a brown can)
- We’ve made with grilled salmon too, and it was really good. Use whatever protein you prefer!
- We once marinated the chicken in olive oil mixed with red curry paste and that was good too.

Easy No-Knead Artisan Bread

Easy No-Knead Artisan Bread - from PBS Kids


A simple method for making no-knead bread faster and easier than the original no-knead recipe.

    Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1½ cup slightly warmer than luke warm water

    Directions

  1. In a medium large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and yeast together. Pour the water over the flour mixture and mix with a spoon until the flour is absorbed and the mixture resembles wet sticky dough. Cover the bowl with either plastic wrap, foil, or a clean, wet, kitchen towel. Place the bowl in a warm place.
  2. Allow the dough to rest overnight.
  3. Cut a piece of parchment paper slightly smaller than the base of the pot. Place the parchment paper inside the pot.
  4. Sprinkle just enough flour on the dough to be able to scoop the dough out with your hand without being too sticky. Place the loosely form dough ball in the center of the pot, on top of the parchment paper.
  5. Place a oven-safe lid on top of the pot and place it in the cold oven.
  6. Turn the oven on to 450 degrees F and set a kitchen timer for 30 minutes.
  7. After 30 minutes, carefully remove the lid from the pot and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Remove the pot from the oven and carefully remove loaf from the pot.
  8. Allow the bread to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into slices.
Yield: 1 loaf

MARCUS NILSSON
The secret ingredient in this satisfying soup is a small amount of cornmeal (polenta), just enough to thicken the broth slightly. It balances the substantial sausage and greens for a soothing cold-weather dish.
Aleppo pepper comes from the town of Aleppo in northern Syria; the flaky crushed sun-dried pepper has a slightly smoky flavor. It's become easier to find in gourmet markets, but if necessary, you can substitute red pepper flakes.

YIELD
4 to 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
    • 3/4 cup finely chopped peeled carrot
    • 3/4 cup well-washed thinly sliced leeks
    • 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
    • 8 ounces Italian fennel sausage (sweet or hot), casings removed
    • 2 tablespoons medium-grind cornmeal (polenta)
    • 5 cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock
    • 4 cups packed stemmed and coarsely chopped kale or chard leaves, or a combination
    • Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano for serving

PREPARATION

    1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, leeks, garlic, salt, black pepper, and Aleppo pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion becomes translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
    2. Drain off the excess fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. Stir in the cornmeal. Add the stock, stirring, and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    3. Stir in the greens and cook for 15 minutes more, or until tender.
    4. Ladle into bowls and garnish with grated Parmigiano.
