PUMPKIN PEANUT CURRY SIMMER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pan (large enough to eventually hold the simmer sauce and the ingredient you will be simmering), heat the oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. DO NOT OVERCOOK THE GARLIC.
• Add the peanut butter and stir to combine. Add the soy sauce, pumpkin, and curry paste. Stir to thoroughly combine.
• Once sauce comes together, turn the heat to low.
• If you are cooking meat in the simmer sauce, add approximately 1 pound of meat, cut in bite size pieces. If you are cooking vegetables, have warm vegetables before combining them with the sauce (such as by steaming or microwaving). If you are using noodles, cook noodles in a separate pan and then add to the sauce.
• Sprinkle with scallions and serve.

CURRIED CHICKEN IN COCONUT - PUMPKIN SAUCE

Steps:

• Make coconut milk: In a medium-sized pot, place dessicated coconut and water. Mix and allow to soak for ½ an hour. After ½ an hour, turn heat onto low and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and leave pot on element for ½ an hour. After ½ an hour, transfer coconut mixture to blender or processor and process for 45 seconds. Put a large sieve over a bowl and empty coconut mixture into it. Press down hard on coconut solids with the back of a spoon to remove as much coconut milk as possible. This method produced 2 cups of coconut milk. Can be made up to 2 days before recipe and refrigerated, covered. The milk will separate in the fridge, forming a creamy 'fat' layer on top, and a thinner 'liquid' layer underneath. Not to worry, the fat layer will melt into the curry along with the liquid and form a lovely milk.
• For curry: In a food processor, pulse onion, peppers, ginger and garlic to make a smooth paste.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion paste and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add pumpkin puree and curry paste and mash into onion paste. Cook until aromatic, another 2-3 minutes. Add sugar, salt and coconut milk, stirring, and bring just to boil. Simmer until slightly thicker, about 4-5 minutes. Add chicken and cook another 10 minutes. Stir in 3 tblsps sour cream so that it is completely incorporated into the sauce and simmer 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
• Serve with your favourite rice pilaf and enjoy!
