I was given this recipe by Jane who blogs over at Onions and Paper ( well that's her craft and food blog anyway )
400g diced chicken
1 can coconut milk
2 tsp ground coriander
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
small knob of fresh ginger
1 stalk lemongrass
1 bay leaf
25g butter
Dice the onion and fry in the butter until golden. Add the crushed garlic,
grated ginger, coriander and bay leaf, and the lemongrass stalk bruised and
crushed well to let out the juice (I find the best way to do this is to
store it in the freezer, then when you want to use it , defrost it and tie
it in a knot - all the juices come out and you don't get any stringy bits
in your food). Cook for a minute then stir in the chicken and mix well to
coat with the flavourings, Pour over the coconut milk and simmer gently for
40 minutes.

So many thanks to Jane for helping me expand my cooking repertoire !
It looks delicious - I can almost smell the lovely fragrant sauce! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we always do. It's my adaptation of a traditional Indonesian recipe.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried lemongrass, this sounds nice with the coconut milk.
