dinner - thai red curry


husband and i went to a thai restaurant in the city a month or so ago, and fell in love with the food. i'm not sure if the kind of thai food we get here in the states is "real" thai, but it sure is absolutely delicious. well, since then, i made myself a promise to learn how to cook thai food myself! 
(that was a lot of "thai" in one paragraph..)


so, tonight we enjoyed: coconut rice*, with a thai red curry sauce**, to which i added some coconut milk, and onion, garlic, green bell pepper and chicken, all cooked in coconut oil***. right before serving i also added some sliced granny smith apple to it****

this dinner was one of my favorites and absolutely delicious, even if i say so myself (you can also ask husband for verification!)
:)


* told ya we love that stuff!
** this time i used a pre-made sauce from trader joe's, but hope to soon learn how to make it from scratch.
*** a good choice, because it gives the meal more coconut flavor as well as being a healthier option!
**** the meal i ordered at the restaurant had apple in it, and it gives the meal the perfect amount of fresh crisp and tartness.
