Curry Coconut Chicken with Split Peas | The Nosher. I didn’t grow up with spices like turmeric, curry or even cumin, but the more I have tried experimenting with these flavors, and losing my fear over cooking with “exotic” spices, the more interesting dinner has become. And I have been happily surprised to watch my daughter devour dishes with these spices, especially curries. Nothing too spicy, nothing too crazy. But whenever chicken and curry make it to our dinner table, she gobbles up no less than three bowls in one sitting. This dish isn’t just for my daughter though, it was enjoyed all around and was a reasonably easy weeknight meal.

I have no idea whether using split peas is traditional or not, but it’s what I had in my cabinet and it was delicious. You can skip the step of pulling the chicken off the bone and just serve whole pieces or you can also choose to use boneless skinless thighs or breasts if you prefer.

Preserving Summer's Freshest Produce. One of the best things about summer is the abundance of fresh produce. The good news is that you can continue to enjoy summer’s bounty of fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs by freezing them. A few baking sheets and plenty of resealable plastic bags specifically designed for freezing are all you’ll need. Be sure to press out any air before sealing the bags and always label and date them. Here are some handy freezing tips: Freezing vegetables: You can prepare most summer vegetables for freezing: Cut the veggies, into bite-sized pieces, blanch briefly in boiling water or steam-blanch until not quite cooked, then immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.

Freezing fruits: The best time to freeze berries and other fruits is when they are ripe but not too soft. Freezing herbs: Freezing is the best way to preserve the delicate flavor of soft-leaved herbs such as tarragon, chives, dill, and sage. What's In The Foods You Eat: Find a food.
