Burmese Coconut Chicken With Thai & Opal Ba Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
2 tbsp peanut oil
4 chicken thighs
4 chicken legs
2 large onions, cut in 1/2 wedges
4 cloves garlic, thin sliced
3 jalapeno peppers, stem/slice
1 tbsp caraway seeds, ground
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
28 oz coconut milk
2 cup thai basil, fresh, chopped
2 cup opal basil, fresh, chopped
1 salt & pepper to taste
Recipe
Preparation
"Luscious and spicy, serve this simple Burmese curry with steamed
rice and stir-fried vegetables to make a complete meal."
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the peanut oil over moderate heat.
Add the chicken in batches and brown on all sides. Remove with a
slotted spoon and place in a baking dish large enough to accommodate
the chicken and the coconut milk in one layer.
Using the same skillet and the oil and chicken fat remaining in it,
cook the onions, garlic, jalapeno peppers, caraway, and cinnamon over
high heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat
and add to the chicken. Pour the coconut milk into the hot skillet
and stir, scraping the bottom to remove any browned particles. Add to
the onions and chicken and mix well.
Bake, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven, add the
basil, and mix gently. Season with salt and pepper, and serve
immediately.

Food Tips of the Week
How to Cook Beans
Beans can be tricky to cook properly. One useful tip is to add any salt or seasoning near to the end of the cooking time as they can prevent the beans from softening properly.
This also applies to any acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice.
Ignore people who say you need to add salt at the start of cooking any foods - this is a myth that science has now disproved.
Frozen Fish Can Taste as Good as Fresh!
One of the problems with using frozen fish is that it often tastes bland and stale after it has been defrosted. This can be easily overcome by defrosting the fish in a bowl of milk, which brings back the 'nice' taste of fresh fish.
Blueberries, A Superfood that Tastes Great Too!
Blueberries are packed with phytoflavinoids and antioxidants - both extremely good for your health. They are also rich in vitamin C, something that most of us could do with 'getting a bit more of', and also quite high in potassium. Some expert nutritionalists claim that eating blueberries helps to reduce the risk of serious complaints like cancer and heart disease
