Classic Thai Red Curry
November 27, 2018This is the easiest recipe and so delicious. I think it is better than the yellow curry Thai dish. You can add a little heat by adding a Thai chili or a sliced Serrano chili. If you cannot find kaffir leaf (lime leaf) squeeze some lime juice into the dish. Asian markets generally have but I have run into problems locating it in an Asian market. Also Thai basil is best but you can use regular basil in a pinch if you cannot find it in an Asian market.

Fabulous Fajitas
October 11, 2018The marinade is the secret to fabulously tender, juicy meat that can stand on its own. Grilling gives it a smoky flavor but I cook these in a cast iron skillet. It helps caramelize the vegetables and the meat. If you are grilling I would use a basket to put the meat in and then use a skillet to cook the vegetables. You can also use beef, bison or even venison as the protein. When cooking chicken I allow for about 20% shrinkage. Hence, the recipe calls for one and quarter pound to allow for one full pound of cooked protein.
