Cure for a bad day - Endorfin Rush

Mango Curry Stir Fry

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks lemongrass, sliced
2 t sesame oil
2 t olive oil
2 T yellow curry paste
¼ c thai basil leaves
3 habanero peppers sliced (optional)
1 can coconut milk
1 can Jumex mango nectar
1 mango, diced

Saute Garlic and lemongrass in oil. Add basil, curry, and peppers. Saute 1 minute more. Add coconut milk and mango juice. Reduce by half. Add diced mango. Let simmer while preparing stir fry.

Serve with any combination of vegetables, chicken, shrimp. Once they are stir fried, stir with sauce.
Serve with rice.

If you are really feeling masochistic and needing to use up things in the fridge… here’s a weird pairing for you.

I served this veggie stir fry tonight with seared tuna stead. Along side that was grilled asparagus and habanero poppers. Recipe to follow… think I wanted an endorfun rush?

Habanero or Jalepeno poppers

Cut the stem end off the pepper
Carve out the pith and seeds while keeping the pepper intact
Mix cream cheese and grated cheddar with just enough hot sauce to moisten
Stuff the peppers
Wrap ½ slice of bacon over the pepper to cover the stuffed end
Skewer them together
Grill over medium high heat until bacon is crispy
