Thai Fiesta

Everyone I know loves Thai food but it is always our go to for take out or a BYOB; I have always wanted to know how to cook Thai food but even after buying a recipe book I was intimidated. I thought to myself there has to be an easier way to make and so I decided to investigate and to my surprise my version of a coconut curry dish was extremely easy and DELICIOUS.

Ingredients:

1. Light Coconut Milk
2. Coconut oil
3. Veggies: Onion, peppers ( I used yellow and orange for color but you can use any), tomatoes and spinach
4. One can of water chestnuts
5. Talapia
6. Qinuoa  ( optional)


Recipe:

1. Add the onion and peppers to a pan with a teaspoon of coconut oil let them cook for about 5 minutes then add the can of coconut mile and the rest of the veggies.

2. Season with curry powder, salt and pepper

3. How long you let them cook really depends on how you like your veggies, I like mine a little crunchy so I usually cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes

4. In a separate pan add another teaspoon of coconut oil and add the Talapia, sometimes I like to pour some of the flavored coconut milk from the veggie dish into the fish dish for some extra flavor. The Talapia cooks fairly quickly ( 10 min MAX) so just check it once it starts to turn a solid white color.

5. Once the fish and veggies are done combine them as you like, I typically like to serve mine over some Qinuoa with the fish on top. Usually i prefer to serve this type of dish in a bowl so you can slurp up as much of the sauce as possible!
