Steps:
- 1. In a heavy pan or skillet cook bacon to render fat. Add chicken pieces, salt, pepper and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- 2. In the same pan, add onion, bell pepper, and asparagus, and cook until softened. Moving the vegetables aside add tomatoe paste and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stir in the curry powder and ginger and cook a minute more. Add chicken and stir all together.
- 3. Stir in chicken broth and lower heat, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes or until chicken is done. Stir in coconut milk and simmer a few minutes more. Serve over Jasmine rice. I like to put the curry sauce on the bottom then the rice and top with meat and vegetables and then more sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus. Using a sharp knife, cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also peel the asparagus if desired, but this is not necessary.
- Cook the asparagus. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you use.
- Make the curry sauce. While the asparagus is cooking, you can make the curry sauce. There are many different recipes for curry sauce, but they typically include a combination of spices, such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric, as well as coconut milk and vegetables.
- Combine the asparagus and curry sauce. Once the asparagus is cooked and the curry sauce is ready, combine them in a bowl or serving dish. You can serve the curry immediately or let it cool and then refrigerate it for later.
Conclusion:
Asparagus curry is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover asparagus. With its vibrant color and delicate flavor, asparagus curry is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy asparagus, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
