Curried Corn And Coconut Rice Food

COCONUT RICE WITH SHRIMP AND CORN

Steps:

• In a large, heavy pot, heat coconut oil over medium. Add the onion, ginger and jalapeño and season with the 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 6 minutes.
• Add the rice and sauté for another minute. Then stir in the coconut milk and 1 1/4 cups water. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer but avoid scorching.
• Stir in the shrimp and corn, cover again, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is cooked through and the rice is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. (Add more water by 1/2 cups throughout cooking as needed if the water has been absorbed, but the rice is still too firm.)
• Remove from the heat and stir in the lime zest and basil; season to taste with salt. Serve immediately with lime wedges and topped with more basil.

QUICK COCONUT CURRY WITH RICE, CORN, AND BEANS

Steps:

• Mix black-eyed peas, coconut milk, corn, tomato paste, curry powder, sugar, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a pot until smooth and evenly combined; simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until curry sauce is heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Pour enough water into a separate pot to almost fill and bring to a boil; season with a pinch of salt. Add rice to boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is very soft, about 15 minutes. Drain excess water from rice.
• Mix rice and curry sauce together in a large bowl.

COCONUT RED CURRY WITH SAUTéED BOK CHOY AND JASMINE COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and season generously with kosher salt; it should be as salty as the sea. Prepare an ice bath and season generously with kosher salt. Add the bok choy stems and leaves to the boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until they're tender but still have a crunch. Remove the bok choy and immediately plunge into the ice bath and set aside. Drain the water - you can reserve the pot for the curry sauce!
• To a medium saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, half of the garlic and half of the ginger. Turn on the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir, making sure it's fully coated with the oil, garlic and ginger. Turn up the heat to medium-high and toast the rice for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 can of the coconut milk, 1/3 cup of the chicken stock and kosher salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce to a simmer and cook for 18 minutes. Turn off the pan and let sit, without opening the lid, for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and fold in the chopped cilantro leaves.
• To make the curry sauce, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat in the same pot that was used to blanch the bok choy. Add the remaining garlic and ginger, the onion and minced cilantro stems. Cook until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallion whites, red curry paste, 2 tablespoons of the fish sauce and the palm sugar. Stir to combine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining can of coconut milk and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Bring back up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until reduced and slightly thickened. Add the lime juice and zest.
• Pat the skin dry on the red snapper and sprinkle with kosher salt. Heat a large nonstick pan with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the snapper skin-side down into the sauté pan. Place another oiled pan on top of the fish to weigh it down so the skin gets crispy. Cook until the skin is crisp, about 4 minutes, then remove the oiled pan on top and flip the fish. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from the pan onto a sheet tray skin-side up. Add the shrimp and cook 2 minutes per side, until pink, then remove from the pan. Add a bit more olive oil to the pan, then add the bok choy and the remaining 1 teaspoon fish sauce. Stir to combine and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes to warm through.
• Plate the rice and top with the sautéed bok choy. Place the fish and shrimp over the top of the bok choy. Spoon the red curry sauce around the rice, being careful not to cover the fish skin so it stays crispy. Garnish with the sliced scallion greens and cilantro leaves.

COCONUT-CURRY WHEAT BERRIES AND RICE

Steps:

• Soak the wheat berries overnight in enough water to cover by 1 inch. Drain. Combine the wheat berries with 1 3/4 cups water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, adjust heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the wheat berries are tender but still toothsome, about 50 minutes. Let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Drain off any excess water. (Wheat berries can be cooked and refrigerated up to 3 days in advance).
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the curry powder and cayenne and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to coat. Pour in 1 cup water and the coconut milk; bring to a boil, lower heat to medium low, cover and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover and add the cooked wheat berries and raisins (no need to stir). Cover again and let sit off the heat for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the cilantro, lemon juice and cashews. Serve warm.

COCONUT & CORN CURRY

Steps:

• Tip in 400ml hot water and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to medium and simmer for 15 mins until most of the water has been absorbed. Add the baby corn and 100ml water, cover and continue to simmer for 5-10 mins until the lentils are soft and the corn still has a little bite. Stir in the coconut yogurt to warm up, but don't let it boil. Serve topped with more coconut yogurt, if you like, and coriander leaves sprinkled over.
