Aromatic Coconut Curry with Spicy Grilled Pineapple

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that perfectly combines the rich flavors of coconut curry with the zing of spicy grilled pineapple. This dish is a celebration of bold and contrasting tastes that will surely impress your taste buds!

Ingredients:

• 400ml coconut milk
• 300g chicken breast, sliced
• 50g red curry paste
• 1 whole pineapple, sliced
• 1 red chili, sliced
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 2 stalks of lemongrass, smashed
• 4 kaffir lime leaves
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 tbsp palm sugar
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• For garnish

Kitchen Tools:

• Chef’s knife
• Grill pan
• Saucepan
• Wooden skewers

To start, marinate the chicken breast with red curry paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, and fish sauce in a bowl. Allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Next, thread the pineapple slices onto wooden skewers and brush them with vegetable oil. Grill the pineapple skewers on a hot grill pan until they are caramelized and slightly charred, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside.

In a saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and sliced red chili. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Then, add the marinated chicken and cook until browned.

Pour in the coconut milk, palm sugar, and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through.

Serve the aromatic coconut curry in a bowl, topped with the grilled pineapple skewers and fresh cilantro. The combination of creamy coconut curry with the sweet and tangy grilled pineapple is a match made in culinary heaven.

One unique tip for this recipe is to infuse the coconut milk with the grilled pineapple skewers by letting them steep in the warm sauce for a few minutes before serving. This will enhance the fruity flavor of the dish and give it an extra layer of complexity.
