THAI-INDONESIAN RENDANG CURRY
Taken from About.com and tweaked to make it perfect and healthier. This is a "dry" curry so the sauce will stick to your chicken and infuse it full of flavor. I use boneless and skinless chicken tenderloins but alternatively, you can cut up 1 whole chicken into medium-sized pieces. ENJOY!

Steps:
- In a food processor combine all ingredients except Chicken and Whole Star Anise. Blend until smooth, taste and adjust as needed: for more salt add Fish Sauce; if it's too sour, add more Agave nectar.
- In a large saucepan lay the chicken pieces in one layer and pour the sauce over them. Turn chicken pieces to coat well. Add the whole star anise.
- Cook uncovered until chicken is done, this time will vary depending on if the chicken has bones in or not. For bone-in chicken, simmer until the sauce reduces by half. For boneless, remove chicken then reduce the sauce by half, returning chicken to pan to reheat when you are ready to serve.
- Serve atop fragrant rice and garnish (optional) Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck, short rib, or brisket are all good choices for rendang. These cuts are tough, but they will become tender when cooked slowly in the curry.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of spices and coconut milk will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the beef slowly: Rendang is a slow-cooked dish. The beef should be cooked for at least 2 hours, or until it is tender and fall-apart.
- Use a heavy pot: A heavy pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the curry from burning.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make rendang. Feel free to add your own favorite spices or ingredients.
Conclusion:
Rendang is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover beef, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated. No matter how you choose to make it, rendang is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party.
