Chicken curry and "rice"
I love a good curry, and this totally hits the spot without being too fussy. What's great is the "rice" made of cauliflower, it's a sneaky way to get kids to eat an extra helping of veggies.
Curried Chicken
1 lbs chicken breast sliced thinly and cut into 2 inch sections (or cubed, if you prefer)
1/2 cup canned coconut milk
1/4 cup water.
2 T tomato paste
1 red bell pepper
2 T curry powder
1 t paprika
1 small yellow onion
1/2 t Red pepper flakes
Olive Oil
salt and pepper
Heat a large skillet with no oil over med-high heat, add oil, pepper fakes, onion, bell pepper and chicken. Cook until chicken almost done. Add curry powder and paprika. Cook until you begin to smell the spices. Add tomato paste and stir rapidly. Deglaze with coconut milk and water, scraping bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then simmer 10 minutes. While it's simmering...
Fake Rice
1 head of cauliflower
2 T butter
1/2 t salt
Quarter the head of cauliflower, then wash it with cold water. Using the largest holes in a box grater, shred the cauliflower completely. Put it in a microwavale bowl with the salt and butter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and microwave for 3-4 minutes, depending on how soft you want your "rice". Toss to coat everything with butter. Serve with any dish you'd normally serve with rice. You will be surprised at the texture and the taste. You won't miss rice at all!
