First question: What's a good "simmer 'til done" time?
Second question: What veg would work best? I remember asparagus doing well, but I'm not sure about broccoli. I'm finding it harder to handle some peppers now. I figure some garlic instead of garlic powder. What about cauliflower? Carrots? Cabbage or kale? What fun veg haven't I considered?
Thanks!
A bit of onion (either a small onion sliced/diced or several green onions). Green peppers are good. Carrots? (shredded or sliced thin). Parsnips or turnips. A good test for simmer til done is to check the softness of the peppers or onions.
ReplyDeleteWell, the recipe already calls for two onions, and I remember that being a good amount. Not sure I can handle the peppers (ah, age!). But parsnips or turnips are a definite possiblity!
ReplyDeleteWhat about rutabagas? They're supposed to be good for Ken (and his lack of spleen). I've never cooked a rutabaga before....
Fresh garlic. Chicken broth (low sodium ) instead of water. Partially pre cook the chicken the browned bits add flavor. Low sodium soy sauce.
ReplyDeleteI think cauliflower, asparagus, snow peas, water chestnuts or bamboo shoots for crunch.
It all depends on how crisp/mushy you like your veg (5 min, to well... mush, ) as previously suggested, test toughest veg to see if soft enough for you. , Brocoli, mushrooms, carrots <-fine slice or shredded, Bok Choy would be amazing... bean sprouts are always good as a last minute addition to anything curry-ish.
ReplyDeleteI know you dont do mushrooms (which are my standard "bulker" but pretty much any veg works in a curry. Courgettes (zucchini for you Americans) so long as you don't add them at the same time as the roor veg unless you want mush.
ReplyDeleteA bag of frozen mixed veg - throw in a couple of handsful 10 minutes before serving.
