I have been looking for some newer recipes lately and seeing how I can convert something interesting into a vegetarian option. So I ventured into the chicken section of my south beach book last week and gave this a whirl. As you can see I added too much coconut milk - and MAN was it spicy - but I totally dug it. Next time I will add less than a pound of my cajun spice to it :) For bryan's sake of course!
- fake chicken pieces (they have this in frozen food in a couple brands next to boca and garden etc)
- 1T evoo
- 1/2 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- dash of cilantro
- squirt of ginger paste
- squire of lemon
- dash of cumin
- dash of turmeric
- 1/2C light coconut milk
- 1T nuts (we used peanuts but it calls for macadamia - cashews also a good option)
- dash of splenda
- splash of red pepper spicing
- defrost your "chicken" in the microwave
- heat evoo in skillet
- heat up your chick on stove and then remove and put on a plate
- heat garlic, onion, and then spices in skillet
- Add lemon, nuts, coconut milk and splenda to your concoction, perhaps a little veggie broth if its handy. at this point you can spice the mixture to your taste - if you see something in your spicerack that might give it a kick or too - throw it in :) Poor bryan was cooling his mouth off for hours
- Add chicken back to skillet and cook until boiled to thickness
- Serve and Enjoy!
