Mango Chicken Curry

This recipe popped up on my facebook page the other day, it is from Taste.com.au. It looked and sounded delicious so I thought I would give it a try. Instead of using chicken thighs as suggested I used sliced chicken breast, it turned out amazing, light and fresh mango flavour with the mild taste of korma, it was an instant hit, I will definitely make this again.

Scott and I usually tend to prefer spicy curries, Vindaloo, Rogan Josh, Madras etc so I wasn't sure how this very mild curry would go down with the family but it was a really nice refreshing change for a mid week dinner, one that was suitable for everyone to enjoy.

Ingredients

425 g mango slices in syrup

1 tbsp olive oil

700 g chicken breast

1 onion, sliced

1 red capsicum, seeded, thinly sliced

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tsp finely grated ginger

1/3 cup korma curry paste

400 ml coconut milk

1/2 cup chicken stock

Method

1. Drain mango slices and place in a blender, blend until pureed.

2. Cut chicken breast into thickish slices.

3. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook chicken in batches for 5 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate.

4. Heat remaining oil in the same pan over a medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes. Add capsicum, garlic and ginger and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add korma paste and cook stirring for 2 minutes or until aromatic. Stir in coconut milk, stock and pureed mango. Return chicken to the pan. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cook covered for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

5. Serve with rice and or naan bread, top with fresh coriander leaves.

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see here and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...

We love stovies, the perfect comfort food for cold evenings and an ideal way to use up leftover meats. I had some corned beef leftover from Scott's sandwiches so that became the base for these stovies.

Cover with lid, turn heat up to medium-high, bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring every few minutes. Cook for 40-50 minutes or until potato is soft and tender. 4. Using a potato masher, roughly break the potatoes into smallish pieces. Cut corned beef into small chunks. Add to potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and corned beef has brea...
