Thai Red Curry 'Chik'n' And Vegetables

My family loves this meal.  It's sweet and spicy and just plain satisfying.  I love all the colors from the red onion, bell peppers and zucchini.  And just wait until you start cooking and all of the aromatics get going!  This dish is what my 91 year old grandmother would call, "Food for the Gods".

(This recipe easily serves 6 people, with some leftovers.)

Ingredients
1 large red onion, sliced
2 red bell peppers, sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, sliced
2 zucchini, sliced in rounds
1 cup cilantro, chopped
juice from 1/2 lime
2 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon red curry paste, found in the Asian foods section of your grocery store (I like the Thai Kitchen brand)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed to a paste with 2 tablespoons water
8 Quorn Naked Chik'n Breasts(or your brand of choice, plain meatless chicken), prepared as directed on package and sliced into strips
4 cups cooked Botan Calrose Rice
2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions
1.  Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
2.  Add garlic, onions and red curry paste.  Cook until onions are translucent.
3.  Add the red curry paste and cook until aromatic.
4.  Add coconut milk, lime juice, brown sugar and cilantro and bring to a boil.
5.  Add the peppers, zucchini and salt.  Cover and reduce heat to medium.  Simmer for 10 minutes.
6.  Add the cornstarch/water mixture and stir until sauce thickens.
7.  Add your prepared 'Chik'n' and cook uncovered for about 1-2 minutes, or until your 'chik'n' is heated through again.
8.  Serve over rice.

Licorice Lemonade

I am always on the lookout for good black licorice.  It's one of those things that I like to have in my cupboards for when I need a little something sweet.  I thought up this lemonade in attempts to use up the lemons on our tree and satisfy my love of licorice.  And with the temperature here pushing 110 degrees Fahrenheit, an ice cold glass of anything, really hits the spot! Lemonade Starter Ingredients 2 1/2 cups water 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest 1 cup fresh lemon juice Directions 1.  Mix water and sugar in a pot over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved and set aside to cool. 2.  Once the water/sugar mixture has cooled, add remaining ingredients, and stir. 3.  Store mixture, covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Licorice Lemonade Ingredients 5 cups water 3 licorice herbal tea bags(I use the Stash Licorice Spice) Lemonade Starter lemon slices ice Directions 1.  Boil 5 cups of water in a pot. 2.  Remove from heat and add tea bags.  Allow to steep fo

Chive And 'Cream Cheese' Smashed Red Potatoes

It seems that on every cooking competition on TV, pureed this, and foamed that, are all the rave.  I don't get it.  All I know is, as Moto Moto the Hippo from Madagascar says, "I like 'em chunky"... at least when it comes to potatoes... and babies.  Here is one of my favorite ways to make them... potatoes, that is.  Super easy and amazingly delicious! Ingredients 2 1/2 pounds red potatoes, washed and cubed water for boiling salt to taste 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives 4 ounces Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese Directions 1.  Boil the potatoes in a pot of water for 10-15 minutes or until they are tender.  Check with a fork. 2.  Drain the water and mix in the 'cream cheese', and chives and stir with a large spoon, breaking up the potatoes as you mix.  You could use a potato masher, but like I said, "I like 'em chunky". 3.  Salt to taste.    

A Full Plate

This week, I have a very full plate.  I am working on a few blog designs, teaching a cupcake decorating class (which I am sooooo not qualified to do), babysitting for my sis, taking my kids to pick pumpkins and then decorating them...  and then all the usual stuff I do.  Needless to say, it's bean burritos, oatmeal and take out here at The Veggie-Full Kitchen this week.  So, instead of sharing one of my recipe's I thought I would refer everyone who lives in Southern Cali to Native Foods , to try Tanya's new Reuben.  It is AMAZING!  Just look at my little Sous-Chef.... he can recognize a good sandwich when he sees one... he just can't eat them yet. For those of you not in Southern California, here is a link to Chef Tanya's Blog where she shares some awesome recipes and more.  Also, if you are in the market for a dynamite vegan cookbook , she's got one of those too.
