Curried Chicken with Apples
Ingredients
1½ cups quick-cooking rice
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
250g snow peas, trimmed
1 large red cooking apple, cored and coarsely chopped, not peeled
2 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp plain flour
¼ tspn salt
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup milk
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ tspn black pepper
2 cups diced cooked chicken
½ cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
1. Cook the rice according to instructions. Transfer to a large bowl, cover with foil, and keep warm.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over moderate high heat for 1 minute. Add the onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until they are soft. Add the snow peas and apple and cook, uncovered, stirring now and then, for 2 to 3 minutes or until the apple is golden brown. Add to the rice.
3. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of oil in the pan for 1 minute. Blend in the curry powder, flour and salt, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the stock and milk and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened.
4. Mix in the lemon juice, pepper, chicken and rice mixture. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes more - just until steaming hot. Sprinkle some of the peanuts over each portion.

Add a dash of sublime fruit flavor to fish, pasta, vegetables and salads with this trio of olive oils. Unlike infused olive oils in which the citrus is added later, these handmade delicacies are created by crushing the fruit along with hand-picked California Mission olives. The results "taste like the essence of the fruit, much like a sorbet does," said The New York Times. The three flavors include Blood Orange, Meyer Lemon and Tahitian Lime. |
