Hubby is home today. He watched Rachael Ray with me this morning and decided he wanted to cook her Peanut Curry Chicken Rice for dinner. So no tacos for us tonight. It sure smells yummy!!

It was absolutley wonderful! He said the next time he would not use quite as much red pepper. The cilantro and ginger were just perfect! Here is her recipe. I just copied it!



1 cup jasmine, basmati or Texmati rice
1 small bunch scallions, coarsely chopped
1 inch ginger, peeled and grated
2 large garlic cloves, grated or finely chopped and mashed into paste
1 small red chili pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, a couple of handfuls
2 rounded tablespoons curry powder, a couple of palmfuls
1 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth, plus additional
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast or 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/3 cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup Greek-style yogurt

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yields: Serves 4


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preparation
Prepare rice according to package directions.
While the rice cooks, combine scallions, ginger, garlic, chili pepper, cilantro, curry powder and a splash of the chicken broth in a small bowl and process into a paste.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with oil. Add chicken to pan and brown, 2-3 minutes. Add spice paste and stir 1 minute to combine. Add peanut butter to the pan and whisk in broth. Bring to a bubble and whisk in yogurt, lower heat and simmer 7-8 minutes. Serve over rice.

BB- I hadn't even thought about the beans being old. Since my Mom had been sick for quite a while, she didn't do much cooking anymore. How do you store beans for a while?? We are starting to gather more of a food supply for WTSGD. How do you keep beans from going bad?

It was 29* this morning, it is supposed to stay under 40* today with strong winds. Last night with wind chill it was around ZERO! So today is chili. I have leftover pork ribs, roast beast to put in it. I will put it on soon so it can cook all day. Probably cornbread, but maybe garli biscuits.

thechickenchick that recipe sounds really good. Did you catch the thread on the Thia Coconut Soup. That is really good too. Made the chicken first and now wan to try the shrimp.

Monica - I store my pasta, beans and rice in Mason jars. Everything seems to keep fine for a long while. Only thing that I have noticed is my split peas and orange lentils fade in the light. Using jars also helps keep bugs out.

Last night was cold in our neck of the woods too - so made chili out of crock pot flank steak leftover from weekend. Served with garlic cheese biscuits.

We ended up having fresh green beans with our meatloaf instead of zucchini. I was about to pull up the beans, when I noticed there were still a lot of dried and little beans on the vines, as well as beans that were too large, but not yet dried. So I picked them all, sorted them and ended up with enough small green beans for last night's supper and some to add to a minestrone soup.
I removed the fresh beans from the large beans pods and will use those in the minestrone also. I might make it for tonight's dinner.
The dried beans I also seperated and am drying further, then I will put them in jars for future dried beans dishes. I found they cook up real fast.
