Recipe
Coconut-curry chicken
Gentle coconut curry with turmeric and ginger over taro.
Ingredients
- Chicken thighs — 11¾ oz (3, cubed)
- Full-fat coconut milk — 1 cup
- Curry powder (nightshade-free) — 1 tsp
- Turmeric — 1 tsp
- Ginger — 1 tsp
- Zucchini — 3½ oz (½)
- Green beans — 3 oz (handful)
- Taro — 2 oz (cubed)
- Green-onion tops — 2 Tbsp
- Garlic-infused olive oil — 2 Tbsp
- Sea salt
- Lime
Method
- Brown the chicken in the oil over medium-high; remove.
- Bloom the curry powder, turmeric and ginger in the oil 30–60 seconds.
- Add the coconut milk (stir gently so it doesn't split), taro and beans; return the chicken and simmer gently 12–15 minutes.
- Add the zucchini for the last 5 minutes; finish with green-onion tops, lime and salt.
Notes
The 'no onion/garlic' Thai curry approach works because the spices (turmeric, ginger, curry powder, lime) are doing the heavy lifting. Use a nightshade-free curry powder — many commercial blends sneak in chili powder or paprika.
