Golden Turmeric Chicken/Shrimp Curry Recipe
Apr 06, 2018Did you know that you can cook with tea and not just drink it? One of our Super Fan's and V.I.P. Members, Kris Miller, sent us this lovely recipe using Golden Turmeric Spice Tea in a curry dish. What makes it super fantastic is that not only is it yummy, not only does it have anti-oxidant packed turmeric in it BUT Kris is also a culinary student at a local college! Training as a professional chef she used her culinary skills to cook up something fantastic! It even made it on the college menu :)
This lovely recipe takes wonderful fresh veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, red pepper and pairs them with chicken/shrimp along with the spice that comes from our Golden Turmeric Tea. This tea is packed with spicy goodness! Organic Turmeric, Organic Ginger, Organic Clove, Organic black pepper, organic cinnamon and some of our farm grown marigold flowers! Organic marigolds - just for the record we are not certified but use organic growing methods!
Kris chose to make this recipe by infusing 1/4 cup of the loose leaf tea in a cloth sachet or making one with some cheese cloth and some twine. Since we didn't have any whole tea available on the farm (it was all in bags waiting for you all!) I used 2 tablespoons ground up. It was simple to through this tea right in a coffee grinder/spice grinder and turn it into a quick and easy blended spice.
Doing things this way really made the curry more yellow but I know the other way would be fabulous too. Which ever is the most simple for you and convenient!
Since we made this recipe on a Friday and we abstain from meat on Fridays, I opted for shrimp only and substituted the bone broth for a veggie broth. It turned out super fantastic! Even the toddler ate her veggies that night! We are thankful for this new recipe and it will be at least a monthly occurrence to our family menu.
