Recipe #9: Green Vegetable Curry

So again its been a little while since my last post and now Ms. Boyardi told me I wasn't allowed to eat any more of her cooking until I wrote a blog….and here we are. She knows how to motivate me. One of the maybe 20 fans of the blog gave us an idea to have a rating system for each recipe. I discussed this with Ms. Boyardi and obviously…she chose garlic cloves as a means of rating the recipes. The more garlic cloves out of 10, the better. Feel free to go back on all the recipes and look at how each of us rated them. Ms. Boyardi may just be the most intense food critic out there.

As for this recipe, I am a sucker for curry, anything with curry in it, I am a fan of. Thai and indian food have to be some of my favs and for me this one was great. For Ms. Boyardi on the other hand, this recipe rivalled that of the infamous potato gallette that nearly cost the Boyardi family an oven and three pans.  The recipe is simple, shitake mushrooms, green beans, red bell pepper and baby bok choy in a green curry sauce over rice topped with fresh basil.

We cooked up all of the vegetables, started cooking the rice and then finally added the coconut green curry sauce.  To be fair, the recipe calls for green curry paste and coconut milk, but we couldn't find paste at the grocery store and settled for a pre-made sauce, that may be why Ms. Boyardi disliked it.
She compared the taste to "toothpaste and cleaner"  ( she's apparently tried that mixture before I guess) and apparently immediately gave her " the mouth waters" when she took a bite. I only get the "mouth waters" when shooting Jack Daniels ( or any alcohol some would say), and it means A. I'm going to soon puke,  and or B. I'm going to swallow an obscene amount of times and look retarded for 10-15 minutes. This green vegetable curry apparently had the same affect on Ms. Boyardi which meant I got the leftovers for my lunch the next day. I assure you, it tastes just fine.
