SPICY THAI RED CURRY CHICKEN WITH KAFFIR LIME LEAVES

You know how I feel about receiving my PC Black Label Black Box in the mail every month so trust me when I say I’m so sad right now.

Why? Well folks, it’s been a wonderful year but all good things must come to an end.

I have absolutely LOVED playing with my food and especially so during this campaign with President’s Choice Black Label products.

Each month, I received three products to choose from and create a signature recipe for PC Black Label. We have had two amazing giveaways this year and I truly appreciated all the positive feedback I’ve received from all of you on my posts.

This month my three choices were so hard to choose from I had to turn to you (my faithful followers) to help me pick “the one”.

There was an overwhelming response to use these PC Black Label Kaffir Lime Leaves. But wait. That doesn’t mean the other two products were not just as fabulous.

I know I’m going to use this PC Black Label Pure Maple Syrup on all my pancake and waffle recipes.

And what about this PC Black Label Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce? I think I hear my rigatoni calling me from the pantry. Doesn’t it look divine?

Naturally, I had to do a little research before tackling this recipe. I combined two of my favourite south Asian inspired recipes and came up with this Spicy Thai Red Curry Chicken.

I get really excited to test these dishes out on someone as unsuspecting as my husband Steve. Let’s just say, he is my best critic and one of my biggest supporters. Even when there are epic fails in the kitchen, I can always count on his advice (and his credit card to order takeout just in case). He also is a fabulous cook and a huge help around our simply beautiful kitchen.

So did this pass the “Steve approved” test?

You bet it did.

In fact, as we sat down to a big steaming bowl of this heavenly curry, we hoped there would be lots of leftovers. As well, we couldn’t help but notice the aromatic flavour of the Kaffir Lime Leaves in this dish. They are Asian equivalent to bay leaves and lend a fragrant, citrus bouquet to your Thai, Malaysian and Indonesian curries, stir-fries and soups. These leaves can be ground into sauces or added whole during the cooking process, then removed before serving.

I spruced up these bowls with a bunch of my favourite garnishes and served them with a side of sticky rice. A perfect comforting and cozy recipe for this time of the year!

I’m looking forward to more exciting recipes in 2019 and can’t wait to play with my food again in the new year. Enjoy!
