Once a Month Cooking - Southeast Asian Curry

Our family loves curry! It's a great way to eat healthy and the coconut milk does not add a strong coconut taste at all! This is a great megacooking recipe that was shared by Louise and is a tried and true recipe at her house.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups cooked chicken, deboned and chopped

• 4 Tablespoons cooking oil

• 4 Tablespoons finely chopped onion

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 Tablespoons finely minced ginger root

• 4 cups coconut milk

• 1 Tablespoon curry powder

• 1 Tablespoons chili powder

• 1 teaspoon salt (opt.)

• 4 cups water

• 8 cups cooked brown rice

Directions:

Heat oil in frying pan. Sauté onion, garlic and ginger until brown. Add coconut milk, curry, chili powder and salt. Stir fry 2-3 min. on medium heat. Add chicken. Freeze rice and chicken mixture in separate ziploc bags. Freeze.

To Prepare:

Thaw - heat in the microwave until heated through. Or bake in a covered dish at 350* until hot approximately 20 - 30 minutes.

Yield: 10 servings

This will make 2 meals for a large family or 4 meals for a smaller family
