Easy surf food
Eager for a quick turn-around session. Don’t want to spend all your valuable time in the kitchen, prepping a healthy enough meal to give you the proper fuel supply you need to sustain a healthy and energized round 2. Well, as surfers, we all know the ocean waits for no one and waves can be extremely infrequent at times; which in return makes us never want to commit to anything. If the waves are good we all want to be in the water. So in this regard, I am sooooo into Easy surf food . Time management is essential if you want to maximize efficient surf time . This way, you can get things done quick and to the point so you can maintain that surfing lifestyle.

Chicken or Beef curry
– 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs, cut into cubes or beef.
– 5 large carrots, peeled and diced
– 1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
– 2 cloves garlic, peeled
– 1 large bell pepper, seeded and chopped (I used a green pepper)
– 1 (5 oz ) can tomato paste
– 1 (14 oz) can coconut milk
– 1 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 tbsp curry powder
– 1 tbsp garam masala
– 1 jalapeno, seeded and halved OR 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
– 2 tbsp water
– 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
1Grease your slow cooker with Pam. Place the chicken and carrots on the bottom of slow cooker.
2Place the rest of the ingredients (except water and corn starch) in a food processor and process together until mixture is mostly smooth. ***If your food processor is too small to hold everything, process everything but the coconut milk. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl then mix in the coconut milk.
3Pour the sauce over the chicken and carrots, mix well, then cover and cook on low for about 6 hours.
4An hour or so before serving, mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved. Pour mixture into the slow cooker, stir to combine, and continue cooking for another hour. **This will thicken up the sauce. When the sauce is to your desired thickness, turn slow cooker to warm setting until ready to serve.
5Serve over rice, with Naan, and garnish with cilantro.
Notes
*if you want you can chop the bell pepper into larger pieces and place in with the chicken and carrots rather than processing into the sauce. This is what I did and we loved the different textures of the carrots, chicken, and pepper in the sauce.
