CHEF JEFF -- ONE BYTE AT A TIME: Green Curry

You won't run afoul of fowl with this recipe.

Green Curry

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons green curry paste

1½ pounds free-range, skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into chunks

Zest of 1 lime

1 1/3 cups coconut milk

Juice of 1 lime

Small handful fresh cilantro, chopped

Heat the oil in a work or large frying pan. Add the curry paste and cook over high heat 1 minute. Add the chicken, lime zest and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until thickened slightly.

Stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Let stand for a few minutes, to allow the sauce to become creamier before serving. The flavors will deepen when the sauce is slightly cooler.

Yield: Serves 4.
