Blue Apron ~ Thai Chicken Curry

I am back to cooking again!  Tonight a made a wonderful dish of Thai Chicken Curry with Carrots and Bok Choy.  This dish combined mildly yellow curry paste with coconut milk with sautéed pieces of chicken breasts.  This was served on top of Jasmine rice.  I served this in a bowl, but the rice absorbed much of the curry-coconut sauce.  The end result was delicious!

Blue Apron ~ Persian-Style Chicken and Crispy Rice

I was really looking forward to tonight's dinner of Persian-style chicken and crispy rice with summer squash, currants and lemon yogurt.  I was not disappointed.  This dish has so many textures and flavors and is so delicious.  

The chicken was sautéed in a Persian Spice Mix.  Then the squash and onions were sautéed.  This was added to the chicken as well as chopped almonds.

While the chicken was cooking, I prepared the rice.  After all the water had absorbed, half of the rice was placed on a cooking sheet and baked until dry and crispy.  Then all the rice was combined, along with the currants, which had been marinated in lemon juice.  I didn't have currants, so used raisins instead.

The dish was topped with yogurt.  Delicious!

Blue Apron ~ Crispy Catfish

Tonight's meal was a real winner.  Crisps catfish with Yellow Curry and Bird's Eye Chile Sauce.  It was inspired by Thai cuisine.  It was served with a hot chili sauce, that was tempered by the coconut palm sugar.  I am not generally a fan of hot, spicy foods, but this was excellent.  One of my favorites.
