Thai Green Curry with Gingery Chicken &amp; Vegetables

chicken

garlic,

head broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets

sweet potato, diced into ½-inch cubes

yellow onion, thinly sliced

large bell pepper, deseeded & thinly sliced

coconut oil, divided

Thai-style green curry paste

light coconut milk

coconut milk

baby spinach

large, juicy limes, juiced

salt black pepper, to season

rice

Preheat the oven

to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean up and set aside.

Prep the chicken

Add the chicken, garlic, and ginger to a bowl, seasoning with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to evenly coat the chicken in the garlic &amp; ginger. Set aside.

Roast the broccoli &amp; sweet potato

Place the broccoli florets &amp; diced sweet potato on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil over top &amp; season with ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Toss to coat, then arrange the veggies in a single, uniform layer across the baking sheet. Once the oven is preheated, roast the veggies for 20-25 minutes, shaking the baking sheet halfway through, until the veggies are crisp around the edges &amp; fork-tender. Remove from the oven &amp; set aside.

Cook the aromatic veggies

Add 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil to a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the thinly sliced onion &amp; bell pepper, seasoning with a pinch of kosher salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes. Transfer the veggies to a plate &amp; set aside.

Cook the chicken

If needed, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet or Dutch oven used to cook the aromatic veggies. Once hot, add in the prepared chicken. Cook 4-5 minutes per side, until browned around the edges &amp; nearly cooked through.

Build &amp; simmer the green curry

Add the curry paste to the skillet, stirring to coat the chicken. Cook 2-3 minutes, allowing the curry paste to brown slightly. Add in the coconut cream &amp; coconut milk. Simmer for about 10 minutes, until the broccoli &amp; sweet potato finish roasting. Just before serving, stir in the spinach &amp; the cooked onion &amp; bell pepper from Step 4. Once the spinach is wilted, stir in the lime juice. Remove from the heat.

Serve

Serve the green curry &amp; roasted veggies over rice (or quinoa or cauliflower rice). Finish with fresh cilantro, Thai basil, and extra freshly squeezed lime juice as desired. Enjoy.

Sloppy Joe Casserole

olive oil

green bell pepper

lbs ground beef (90% lean)

beef broth (or stock)

15 tomato sauce

chili sauce

Dijon mustard

apple cider vinegar

tbsp brown sugar (light

½ tsp black pepper

cheddar cheese (2 cups for extra cheesy)

puff pastry

egg (lightly beaten)

tbsp milk (or water)

tbsp sesame seeds (for topping, optional)

scallions (chopped, for garnish, optional)

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.

Add the ground beef and break up with a wooden spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Tilt the skillet and use a large spoon to remove most of the rendered grease (it&#39;s okay to leave some in the skillet). Discard safely.

Add the beef broth, tomato sauce, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring often.

Continue simmering over medium heat until the mixture has thickened and most of the liquid has cooked down, about 15 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Top with the cheese, and then arrange the puff pastry squares over the cheese.

In a small bowl, mix together the beaten egg and milk (or water). Brush the egg wash over the tops of the puff pastry. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top.

Bake until the puff pastry is browned (but not burned) and the sides are bubbly, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Serve at once, garnished with chopped scallions (if desired).

This is absolutely the best casual sloppy Joe recipe that I've tried. The puff pastry puts it over the top.
