Ha! Green Thai Curry FTW!

Hee! The sis-in-law is a week past her due date and husband and I made dinner last night. She requested spicy, so we made a Green Thai Curry with coconut milk and padron peppers PLUS pineapple upside down cake (b/c according to the mid-wife, pineapples help move things along). Verdict?

Sis-in-law went into labor this morning at 1.30am! Things are going pretty slow, but go Green Thai Curry! Naturally, this isn't empirical evidence, but pretty funny!

A boy! A little wee boy! ♥

The recipe is kind of a mish-mash of two. First we marinated the chicken in this yogurt marinade: http://www.indiacurry.com/chicken/basicchickenmarinate.htm It's awesome! Keeps the chicken super moist. The key to this thing is the green curry paste.

Then, I sweated some garlic, onions and padron peppers. Added two cans of coconut milk (for 7 people, so one usually will do!) and let that bubble a little. Then I threw in the chicken that had been marinating for about 2 hours. I cut it up after it had marinated and made a massive mess. Keep the marinade and throw that in when you throw the chicken in.

The chicken simmered for about ten minutes or so, then I added the veg: zucchini, bell peppers, and broccoli. Then I played with the spices. Coriander, cumin, curry, more paste, cayenne and a lime.

It was ready after about 20 minutes of simmering.

Throw on some basmati and serve with some fresh coriander and lime! Boom! Super tasty and you can either really spicy or mild with it.

YAY! Congrats to the new parents and the new auntie and uncle! Lots of snuggles, diapers, and crying in the near future!

*copies and pastes into a word document* I am always on board for a curry recipe. And I tend to love the Thai ones as they're a bit fresher and lighter and I love that in summer! And it gives me an excuse to buy hot peppers. Not like I NEED one, but, yannow. ;)

Plus, I DO have an industrial-sized bag of chicken in the freezer...
