Pantry night Dish

Pantry Night  Dish

Sorry there are not step by step pictures tonight but I wasn't planning on blogging this meal.  Kent loved it so much he encouraged me to tell about it! so here goes!!

To night was a left over night which at our house we call a "Pantry night".  our son Hyrum is the "King" of "Pantry night" meals, so I will dedicate this meal to him!

A Pantry night for us is to look in the  refrigerator and see what little bits of this and that are not big enough to make a whole meal, Then look in the pantry and see what staples can pull it all together,  then exclaim.."I feel like"....and then name off Italian, Thai, BBQ or just mac and cheese!

Tonight this was my list from the refrigerator:

Baby carrots

2 baked potatoes, cubed

zuchinni, sliced

chopped red pepper

chopped yellow pepper

My pantry List:

olive oil

1 can coconut milk

1 T. Panang curry (cut curry in half if you don't like your food too spicy!! )

1 T. sugar

1 T. peanut butter

1 tsp. chicken bouillon granuals

1/4 c. crema de coco (cream of coconut) I think you could substitute with coco Lopez

Rice

you can find this curry (Panang)  in most Asian stores.  This is our favorite brand.

Prepare rice

Heat olive oil in heavy skillet or wok.  Add carrots and cook until tender crisp.  Add potatoes until heated and then add all other vegetables.  stir fry until zuchinni is tender.  Add pantry ingredients except rice and let simmer for 1-2 minutes then fold gently to make sure the  curry is dissolved and distributed evenly.   Serve over rice!

If you would like to add meat to this dish just start with your meat and stir fry till almost all the pink is gone then start with the vegetables.

To Hyrum.....it was a Thai night!  Love mom!
