Frankie Hardings Chicken Or Shrimp Curry Recipes

Steps:

• To make the sauce: Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add curry and chili powders and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Whisk in flour, coconut milk and 1/3 cup water, raise heat to medium and whisk until just boiling. Whisk in salt, mace, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and then apple. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Push through a strainer with a metal spoon into a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to serve, place the sauce in a saucepan and stir in currant jelly and chutney. Heat over medium heat until blended, whisking occasionally. Add chicken or shrimp, stir and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. If mixture is too thick, thin with chicken or shrimp cooking liquid or heavy cream. Serve with the rice and the condiments in separate bowls.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• Core and seed the peppers. Cut them into one-inch cubes. There should be about four cups.
• Heat the butter in a skillet, in which the chicken pieces will fit snugly, with a tight-fitting lid. Add the chicken and cook over moderately low heat, turning the pieces without browning, about five minutes.
• Add the onion, garlic and curry powder, and cook, stirring, without browning, until the chicken is well coated with the curry. Add the green peppers and continue cooking, stirring often and turning the chicken pieces, about five minutes.
• Add the bay leaf, wine and rice, and stir to blend.
• Pour in the chicken broth and stir. Cover closely and cook over moderately low heat about 15 minutes. Add the shrimp, pushing them down into the rice. Cook about five minutes longer or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid absorbed.

Steps:

• Remove any bones or skin from the chicken breasts. Cut into 1 inch cubes. There should be about 3 cups chicken and 2 cups shrimp all together. Set aside.
• Heat half the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat and add onion and garlic. Cook about 1 or 2 minutes, then add celery. Cook another minute then season with curry powder and stir. Add the tomato paste; stir. Add banana and apple; stir. Add the broth and stir until liquid is well blended. Salt to taste and simmer 10 minutes.
• Heat the remaining butter in a saucepan. Add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes. Add shrimp and cook an additional 2 minutes, stirring.
• Meanwhile, pour the curry mixture into the bowl of a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Can also be done with an immersion blender.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken and shrimp, heat 2 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and curry paste. Stir frequently until onions soften, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place shrimp in a sieve. Rinse under cold running water until any ice crystals melt. Once onions are softened, stir in coconut milk and honey. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove and discard skin from chicken, then pull off meat and tear or cut into bite-size chunks. Slice peppers into thick pieces. Coarsely chop cilantro. Stir shrimp, chicken, peppers and peas into coconut-milk mixture.
• Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are hot, 3 to 5 minutes. If using uncooked shrimp, cook until pink, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in coriander. Slice lime into wedges and serve alongside curry. Great with jasmine rice.
