A Fabulous Stir Fry Recipe

I just tried this recipe today to add a twist to my stir frying of chicken. It is very yummy and easily adaptable. The key may be to use good butchershop chicken (if you have access).

>Spicy Stir-Fried Garlic Pepper Chicken

This deliciously sauted chicken is easy to prepare and will make an excellent snack or may be used as a filling for Tacos, Burritos, or Sandwiches.

Ingredients: (makes 6 - 8 servings)

2 pounds (900 gms) Chicken (boneless cubes)

2 tablespoons Oil (veg., olive or corn)

2 teaspoons Garlic chopped/paste

1 cup Onions Diced

3 peppers (red, yellow, green, and/or orange)

2 teaspoons Lemon/Lime juice

2 teaspoons Spice 'N Flavor Garam Masala

1 Tbsp. Coriander (cilantro) leaves chopped, Salt to taste

Method:

1.Marinate the chicken with lemon juice,

salt and SPICE 'N FLAVOR Garam Masala and set aside for 30 mins.

2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan,

add the chicken, garlic and stir-fry on medium fire for 10 mins.

3. Add the onions, bell pepper, 3 tablespoons of water and stir-fry for 5 mins.

or until the chicken become brownish and dry.

4. Turn off the heat and garnish with the coriander (cilantro) leaves.

Chef's Tip s:

(Potatoes, Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower or Tofu).

Serve hot as an appetizer or with rice (boiled or pilaf), Indian breads, pita bread, Tacos, Burritos or any other bread.

The Library Kicks Butt !

I love reading articles about stupid library users. When you check out books from the library (school, public, academic, etc.), the agreement is that you will return them in a timely manner. If you don't there are consequences for your lack of responsibility. I find it interesting that some individuals think a public library serves as their own personal Amazon.com account. Where does that mentality come from? Just take the damn books back and pay the meagre fine!
