BRADLEY CURRIED DE AMOR

Dessert included.

Ingredients...

Broccoli
Red Bell Pepper
Yellow Squash
Green Onion
Garlic

Yellow Curry
Peanut Butter
Soy Sauce
Sesame Oil
1/2 & 1/2

Jasmine Rice
Coconut Milk

In a glass dish, I chopped up 2 medium sized yellow squashes, a large handful of green onion, 1/2 a red bell pepper- thin little strips- and about 6 small to medium cloves of garlic. I then dumped 1 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce and sesame oil, a dash (about 6) of salt and pepper and mixed well with a wooden spoon and let sit. No need to refrigerate.

Time for rice, which takes about 25 minutes to cook. Measure out the desired amount of rice you would like and instead of water replace with coconut milk. Jasmine is a must.

When you are ready to sauteed vegetables, go ahead and dump your vegetables in a pan on high heat. Let them cook for about ten minutes and then you can start to add some yellow curry (I used about 3 tablespoons), and about 2 heaping spoonfuls of peanut butter. Don't be afraid to put as much sesame oil as you like (my personal favorite). Last, add about 1/4 (or more!) Mix well and turn heat to low.

You can mix the rice and vegetables together and serve in one big bowl. But trust me, serving them in separate bowls looks nicer. Plus, the rice is so tasty on its own that when you are blessed with a bite that is just rice, it is heaven.

DESSERT

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Red Delicious Apples
Mint

Scoop out as much ice cream into a bowl that you will be serving for you and your guests. Then put it in the microwave for 1 minute (ouch, I know). Next, grate an apple like you normally would do to a block of cheese. Thinly cut mint as small as you can get it. Mix together and put back into the freezer. Back to being frozen by the time dinner is over and any kind of remembrance of it being in a microwave (shhh..) will soon dissipate when you take the first bite.

Serve with very strong hot coffee or for women who are with child: Mint tea.
