2 cups basmati rice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (3 times around the pan)

Coarse salt and coarse black pepper
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons ground coriander (2 palmfuls)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 large green apple, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock or broth

  • Prepare the rice according to the package directions.
  • Preheat a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and lightly brown. Remove the chicken and reserve on a plate. To the same pan, add the garlic, ginger, coriander, onions, apples, and remaining tablespoon of oil and sauté together for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute more. Add the chicken stock to the pan and bring to a bubble. Add the curry paste, golden raisins, and dates. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the chicken pieces back to the pan. Simmer the curry for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Assemble the toppings in small dishes. Serve the curry in shallow bowls with scoops of basmati rice. Garnish with any or all of the toppings.

FRUITED CHICKEN SPREAD



Fruited Chicken Spread image

I got this recipe from a former neighbor about 12 years ago. She and her family haved moved a few miles away, into town, but I wish they were still in the neighborhood. She actually got my DH to dress as the Easter Bunny for a couple of years!!! I have pics to prove it. Anyway, back to the recipe. It is delicious and refreshing, especially in the warm weather we are beginning to have in NC. Again, guessing on the number of servings. Cook time is chill time, if you can wait for it to chill. I never do. ENJOY!!
