Thai-Style Basil Chicken Curry [Adapted from A Splendid Table]

Thai-Style Basil Chicken Curry [Adapted from A Splendid Table]

Adapted form http://www.scrippsnews.com/content/splendid-table-basil-plays-well-other-ingredients

  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

  • 8 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 2 in. piece fresh ginger finely chopped
  • 1-4 fresh chilies finely chopped
  • 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) tumeric
  • 2 tomatoes cut into chunks
  • 1 1/2 cup(s) light coconut milk
  • 1 pound(s) chicken thighs (boneless, skinless) cubed
  • 1/2 cup(s) fresh basil leaves chopped, divided
  • brown rice, cooked
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium onion sliced

Preparation

Make a simple curry saute of 8 large garlic cloves, 2 inches of fresh ginger, 1 to 4 fresh chilies and half a medium onion, all finely chopped together. (My adaptation: add 1/4c chopped basil to paste). Saute these ingredients in canola oil in a 4-quart saucepan until they start browning.

Stir in 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and 2 large, good-tasting tomatoes that you've cut into chunks. Cook 5 minutes to thicken. Now add 1-1/2 cups coconut milk and simmer 5 minutes to thicken a bit more.

Drop in 1 pound of boned and diced chicken thighs, cooking them through in about 15 minutes. (My adaptation: when chicken is slightly browned, add sliced red pepper, and sliced onion).

Just before serving, stir in a big handful of fresh basil leaves and some more minced fresh chilies.

Serve over cooked brown rice.
