Thai Peanut Chicken Curry


Here's an easy one (and as Anna said, it's a MUST TRY - I think she liked it).

It's a pretty common recipe on the Interweb, using peanut butter for a spice that sticks to the roof of your mouth. Here's our version.


Ingredients:

1 white onion, cut
Oil
1 lb chicken breast, cut
1 red bell pepper (or green is fine), cut
Several small red chili peppers, cut
2 T garlic or garlic/ginger paste
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
Any peanuts left over from the airplane
1/4 to 1/2 cup frozen spinach (optional)
Soy sauce


Directions
  • Fry onion until clear, add peppers, garlic paste, and peanuts
  • Add chicken and cook until not quite done
  • Add peanut butter and stir until it thins and coats everything
  • Add spinach and a liberal amount of soy sauce
  • Cover at a low boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water if necessary
  • Serve over rice (jelly optional)
