Curried Chicken and Summer Vegetables

Maria and Dan did everything. Thanks Maria and Dan!

Ingredients:

1/2 t cooking oil
6 chicken drumsticks
salt & pepper TT

1 T cooking oil
1 onion, medium diced (about 1/2" on a side)
1/2 head garlic, peeled & sliced thickly
1" ginger root, peeled & sliced thinly
3 serrano chiles, sliced [taste these and make sure you want all of them, with all their spicy seeds & membranes, in your mouth. I mean, I would. But you may not and I am not judging you. *cough* *yes I am*]
3 T curry powder (freshly ground is better)
1 13-14oz can of coconut milk
1 T soy sauce
1 lime, juiced

4 medium red potatoes, medium diced
2 summer squash (any), medium diced
1 bu green onions, sliced thinly

Instructions:

1. Heat a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the 1/2 t cooking oil, allow to heat up and swirl the pan to coat it. Add the chicken drumsticks and allow to brown well. transfer to a baking dish, cover and braise for one hour. Pull the meat from the bones when done and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, heat the large sauté pan again over high heat. Add the 1 T cooking oil, allow to heat up, then add the onion, garlic, ginger and chiles. Reduce heat to medium-high and sauté for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and mix in the curry powder. Transfer to a blender.
3. Add the coconut milk, soy sauce and lime juice, and blend until liquefied. Strain into a large saucepan.
4. Add 1/2 C water to the saucepan and add the potatoes. Taste the sauce to make sure it's salted enough because the potatoes will actually suck a bit of salt from the sauce. Add more soy sauce if necessary. Cook the potatoes over medium heat in the sauce for 10 minutes.
5. Add the chicken, squash and green onions and cook 5 minutes more. Taste everything to make sure it's done and well seasoned. Serve as-is or over rice.

Zanzibar Egg Curry

(There are a lot of curry powders available.. you can pick one from Zanzibar or use whichever you like.. we used one from Pakistan with a nice sweet flavor)
from the last Pike Market Community Kitchen

Ingredients:
5-6 yellow potatoes, diced large
2 T cooking oil
salt & pepper TT
9 eggs
1 red onion
1/2 head garlic, minced
1" piece of ginger, minced
1/2 can tomato sauce
1 T cooking oil
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 C water
1 T & 1 t Curry Powder (we used a Pakistani curry powder from World Spice)
1/2 t salt
1/2 head cauliflower, chopped small
1/2 # yellow wax beans (or green beans), trimmed & cut bite-sized
1 bu broccolini, 1/2" trimmed from the bottom and sliced 1/2" thick
salt & pepper TT

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss the potatoes with salt, pepper and oil, and roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden. Remove and set aside.
2. Boil the eggs for about 10 minutes and set in an ice water bath to cool. When cooled, peel and cut them in half lengthwise.
3. In a food processor, puree the onion, garlic, ginger and tomato sauce together. Add a bit of water if you have to, taking from the 1/2 cup of water you'll use later.
4. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion-tomato mixture and cook for 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, water, curry powder and 1/2 t salt, and cook another 5 minutes.
5. Add the cauliflower, broccolini and wax beans and cook until just cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs and gently combine. Serve over the roasted potatoes.
