What's for Dinner, Mon., Jan. 15, 2018

11. I love a good burger. I made this thai dish...coconut beef. I had all the ingredients.

It was so good. My daughter was coming over and she loves spicy food. You take the meat (any kind of roast) and brown it. You add two of the thai chilis ( I had the chile paste so I used that), the juice of three limes and the zest, an inch of ginger ( I added more),
three cloves of garlic (added more) and you grind it up in a food processor or by hand. You add it to the meat and let it cook together for a few minutes. Next add two full cans of coconut milk and a 1/2 cup of water. Bring it to a boil and let it cook a couple of hours. This could go in a crockpot too-I did add brown sugar to taste-I like the sweet and the sour. And I threw the lime carcass in the pot too for extra flavor,..That's it. So easy. After it was done I added the coconut cream on the top of the coconut milk to thicken it a bit. I served it with coconut rice. It was so good. A small serving filled me up...very rich. I had a good sized roast so there were leftovers. Of course, DD took the leftovers home for her boyfriend who works second shift. There is probably enough left for a couple of meals. We had a big salad with Vinaigrette, tons of veg, almonds and cranberries. I am going to have a pair for dessert. Make sure you salt your meat. I forgot to put salt in the paste (recipe didn't call for it) and I had to take the meat out and salt it and let it sit for a minute or two...it was so bland!
