SLOW COOKER COCONUT GINGER CHICKEN & VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Combine ingredients from the spice blend together and set aside.
• In a mini food processor, combine garlic, ginger and onion and pulse until it forms a paste.
• In the bottom of a slow-cooker placed on a burner (see IMPORTANT note below), heat olive oil and melt butter. Add pureed aromatics and stir well. Cook for a few minutes, then add spice blend. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Move aromatics to one side of the pot and add chicken pieces to the pot. Cook chicken slightly on all sides, using a sturdy wooden spoon to move it around the pot. It should get thoroughly coated with the spice mixture.
• Open the cans of coconut milk and remove the cream from the top using a soup spoon. You should have about 1 cup. Pour the coconut milk over the chicken and with both cans, it should just barely cover the chicken.
• Drain the corn cobs and chop in half. Add to the slow-cooker.
• Place the slow cooker in the base and cook on low for 4 hours.

SLOW COOKER COCONUT GINGER CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together ground pepper, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and salt. Set aside for later use. Using a hand blender or food processor, combine garlic, ginger, and onion. Pulse until a chunky paste is formed. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the coconut oil and butter. Add the garlic paste from above. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, enough time to allow the mixture to golden slightly in color. Sprinkle in the spice mix and stir well so that everything is evenly coated. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Allow the garlic and spice mixture to continue cooking on one side of the skillet, leaving the other side for searing the chicken. Once the chicken has slightly browned on all sides, mix with the garlic and spices. Put all the contents of the skillet into the slow cooker. Open the cans of coconut milk and spoon out the thick cream that rests atop the milk and set aside for later use. Add the coconut milk (not the thick cream) into the slow cooker and mix with the chicken. Also, toss in the chopped pepper. Cook on low heat for 4 hours. Once the time is up, add the thick cream from the coconut milk to the dish. Stir in and allow it to cook for another 30 minutes prior to serving.

CHICKEN WITH COCONUT MILK, LEMONGRASS, AND GINGER

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and chiles and lower the heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and well caramelized.
• 2. Stir in the ginger and lemongrass and saute for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and stir to combine. Stir in the black cumin and turmeric. When the spices are well incorporated, stir in the coconut milk and the half-and half. Add salt and remove from the heat.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• 4. Place the chicken in a Dutch oven or another large heavy ovenproof casserole. Pour the coconut mixture over the top of the chicken. Cover and bake for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is very tender.
• 5. Serve, family style, with basmati rice, a green salad, and warm Indian breads.
• Note: In India, the chiles would be left in the finished dish, but if you are concerned about them being eaten, remove them before serving.
