TOMATO AND COCONUT CHICKEN OVER SPICED RICE PILAF

Steps:

• For the rice: Soak the rice in 4 cups of cold water for 30 minutes.
• For the chicken: Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Season all sides of the chicken with salt. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, use a pair of metal tongs to carefully add the pieces, skin-side down, to the oil. Do not crowd the skillet. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the skin is browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and brown the other side, another 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken pieces to a clean baking sheet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the garlic and onions. Add the red pepper flakes and some salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic and onions turn light brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the coconut milk, tomatoes and bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up in a single layer in the sauce. Pour any juices into the sauce as well. Lower the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Taste for seasoning. Keep warm.
• To cook the rice: While the chicken is cooking, heat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• On a baking sheet, combine the cumin, fennel, cayenne and cinnamon stick. Lightly toast the spices in the oven, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat and add the butter and onion. Season with salt and cook until the onion is translucent but not browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the spices. Drain the rice, reserving the soaking water. Stir in the rice and cook until you hear it crackling, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently stir in the reserved water. Season with salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook until the water has been absorbed and the rice is fluffy, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the rice to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before "forking" it gently onto plates. Spoon the chicken and sauce over the rice and serve.

BONELESS CHICKEN BREAST WITH TOMATOES, COCONUT MILK, AND CHICKPEAS IN THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Combine tomato sauce, coconut milk, chicken broth, curry powder, salt, and cayenne pepper in a slow cooker. Add chicken, chickpeas, potatoes, carrots, and onion. Mix well with the liquid in the slow cooker.
• Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 4 hours on High or 8 hours on Low. Add peas and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Cook an additional 5 minutes. Divide among plates and sprinkle with cilantro.

TOMATO & COCONUT CURRY

Steps:

• Tip the cumin, coriander and fennel seeds into a large, dry frying pan set over a medium-high heat and toast until fragrant and lightly browned. Immediately remove from the heat, then roughly grind using a pestle and mortar or spice grinder.
• Drizzle the oil into the pan. Add the curry leaves and sizzle for a minute, then add the onions. Fry for around 5 mins until lightly golden. Add the mustard seeds, ground spice mixture, turmeric, salt, garlic and chilli, and fry for another couple of minutes. Tip in all of the tomatoes and fry for a further minute before adding the coconut milk, tamarind and sugar.
• Simmer the curry for 25 mins until the tomatoes are really soft and the liquid has thickened a little. Taste for seasoning, and add a little more salt or sugar if needed. Serve hot with the rice.

ONE-POT BRAISED CHICKEN WITH COCONUT MILK, TOMATO AND GINGER

Steps:

• Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. In a deep 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook, undisturbed, until nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Turn heat to medium-low, add the onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, cinnamon and red-pepper flakes, and cook until the garlic and the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
• Add the tomatoes with their juices and the coconut milk, and stir until combined, scraping up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet along with any juices that have accumulated. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide the rice, if using, among bowls and plate the chicken on top, spooning additional sauce over it. Scatter with cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if you like.

CHICKEN IN COCONUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the cream of coconut with the hot water until smooth and well blended, and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and place the chicken breasts into the hot oil. Pan-fry the chicken breasts until they have begun to brown but are still pink inside, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken breasts to paper towels, and sprinkle them with lemon juice, ginger, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
• Place the onions and garlic into the skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet on top of the cooked onions and garlic, and pour the coconut cream mixture over the chicken. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 35 minutes.

CHICKEN IN TOMATO AND COCONUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak the coconut in the hot water for 10-15 minutes. Puree the coconut and its soaking water in a blender with the coriander, chilies, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
• Put the passata, chicken and salt in a saucepan, at least 12 inches in diameter, and place over medium heat. When the passata begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
• Stir in the blended coconut mixture and heat until the sauce begins to bubble again, then cover the pan and cook for 10-12 minutes.
• Finally, add the half-and-half, cook for 1 minute and serve at once.

ROASTED TOMATO-COCONUT SAUCE

• Reduce heat to low and cook until mixture just begins to simmer. Immediately remove from heat and season with lemon juice and salt to taste. Serve over fish, tofu or rice. (If you're cooking tofu, press it between two plates for a half-hour first to get the water out.)
