Thai Style Curry With Chicken Thighs And Cauliflower Recipes

EASY CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Start by cutting the chicken thighs into 2.5-centimeter ( 1 x 1-inch) sized chunks. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan and brown the chicken on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep to one side.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan, add the chopped onion and cook on medium heat until the onions are soft.
• Add the green chile, ginger, and garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute, taking care not to burn. Then, add the chili powder, turmeric, garam masala , and sugar and cook for a further minute stirring constantly.
• Pour in the tomatoes and coconut milk , stir well, then add the chicken and cauliflower. Simmer for 10 minutes until the cauliflower and chicken are cooked through. Add a little stock or water if the sauce gets too thick.
• Check the seasoning, and add salt and/or pepper as required, then stir through the spinach until it just starts to wilt.
• Serve the curry into warmed bowls with cooked rice, and/or naan bread or chapatis on the side.

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CAULIFLOWER AND HERBY YOGURT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees and set a rack in the center.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the coriander, paprika and Aleppo pepper with 1 tablespoon oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat in the oil and spices. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, on a large baking sheet.
• Add the cauliflower, shallots, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the bowl. Toss to coat, then arrange the vegetables in a single layer surrounding the chicken.
• Bake until the chicken is deep golden brown and cooked through and the cauliflower is browned, tossing the vegetables once or twice, about 40 minutes. (If the chicken is done before the cauliflower, transfer the thighs to a plate, cover, and continue cooking the cauliflower until golden brown.)
• While the chicken bakes, prepare the yogurt sauce: Whisk the yogurt, mint, cilantro, lemon juice and grated garlic with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
• Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a platter and top with any juices left on the sheet pan and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with a swoop of yogurt on the side, and fresh cilantro, if desired.
