Green Chicken Curry.....an absolute winner!

Contrary to belief, this is such a quick and easy dish to prepare.....one just needs to have a can of coconut milk and some green curry paste waiting in the back of the pantry cupboard!

If you have been busy in the garden, freshly picked coriander will not be a problem......


To prepare this Green Chicken Curry, heat 500 ml Coconut milk, or coconut cream in a wok with 2 tablespoons of green curry paste...or less depending on how strong you like the flavour! Simmer for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add 500g sliced chicken breast, 3 Tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons fish sauce and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Add a selection of vegetables of your choice, such as carrots, peppers, beans or baby corn. Cook through quickly and add a splash of lime juice and a tablespoon of fresh ginger paste.
Check seasoning, and serve with fragrant rice. Top with fresh sprigs of coriander.






And then for a few of my favourite things in my kitchen at the moment.....Blue is the colour........
There is nothing like a bunch of flowers to brighten up any day! Thanks Anne!


......and just because I love to colour code and match items....another touch of blue. My favourite recipe book by Giancarlo Caldesi, an oriental plate from Singapore with a blue  bowl and yellow cutlery to match the flowers!





So, go ahead and colour your life ...and your kitchen with your favourite things!
