Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup coconut milk (, shaken)
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter ((or almond butter))
1/2 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 teaspoons lime juice
3 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon cumin
3 tablespoons vegetable olive oil (, divided)
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs (, cut into small bite-sized pieces)
salt and pepper (, to taste)
2 cups small broccoli florets
1 cup sliced carrot rounds
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
chopped Thai basil (, for garnish)
cooked white rice (, for serving)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, chili garlic sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, coriander, and cumin. Set aside.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, warm 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering, season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook, undisturbed for 1 minute to develop a crust. Then saute for 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  • Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet; toss in the broccoli and carrots. Saute for about 3 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  • Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices, and the ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Give the sauce a stir and pour it into the skillet. Toss to coat only for 15-20 seconds to warm through. Remove from heat.
  • Serve immediately with cooked white rice and a sprinkle of chopped Thai basil.

COCONUT PORK STEW WITH GARAM MASALA



Coconut Pork Stew With Garam Masala image

Coconut milk adds richness and a gentle creamy sweetness to this hearty pork stew, while garam masala, cumin, and cayenne add fragrance and a jolt of spice. Because yellow split peas are cooked along with the pork, you don't necessarily need to serve this over another starch, making it a warming one-pot meal. However, a side of rice will tame the heat if you're looking for a slightly mellower meal. And if you want to cool this down even further, substitute mild chiles for the hot ones called for in the garlic coconut oil.

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 1/2 pounds boneless pork butt (fat trimmed), or pork stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup dried yellow split peas
2 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
1 cinnamon stick
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 serrano or jalapeño pepper, minced
1 26- to 28-ounce can or package diced tomatoes
1 cup coconut milk, solids and liquid whisked together
Chopped cilantro, for garnish
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 hot red or green chiles, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped out with a spoon

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the pork with the cumin, salt, garam masala and cayenne. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Cover the split peas with boiling water to cover by 2 inches, and let soak overnight. Drain.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 8 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Add cinnamon stick, garlic and jalapeño. Saute for 5 minutes, until the jalapeño is tender. Add the pork and any juices from the bowl and sauté until lightly browned all over, about 7 minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes, split peas and coconut milk and season with more salt, to taste. The pork should just be covered by liquid. If it's not, add a little water until it is. Bring to a simmer over high heat.
  • Once the mixture is simmering briskly, cover Dutch oven, and place in oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until split peas are tender and pork is falling apart and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the garlic coconut oil: In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds. Once they begin popping, add garlic and chiles, and fry until edges of garlic turn golden brown. Immediately remove pan from heat and reserve. (Do not allow entire garlic cloves to brown or they will taste bitter.)
  • Serve warm, drizzled with garlic coconut oil and garnished with chopped cilantro.
