Massaman Curry

Found at all the local markets, with each being a little different from vendor to vendor, our chefs loved the Massaman Curry as a great dish that embodies the fresh vegetables, herbs and spices found throughout Thailand.

Ingredients

1. 7 oz. beef shank
2. 2 Tbsp Massaman curry paste
3. 2.5 oz potato (cut into small cubes)
4. 1.25 cup coconut milk
5. .5 oz. peanuts
6. .5 oz. shallot (chopped)
7. 1.25 Tbsp fish sauce
8. 2 Tbsp. tamarind juice
9. 2 Tbsp. palm sugar

Directions

1. Heat oil in wok or frying pan, boil coconut milk until it seperates into heavy cream on top.
2. Remove the rich coconut cream and place it on the side.
3. Boil the beef in a low simmer for 35-40 minutes in the remaining liquid until tender, remove it and set the cooking stock aside.
4. Cut beef shank into big chunks.
5. Place the rich coconut cream and Massaman curry paste into a wok or frying pan and bring to a boil.
6. Simmer until the oil has seperated.
7. Add the stock, beef shank cubes and simmer until the beef absorbs the curry flavor.

Christmas Morning Cookies

Laura Carr writes, "Similar in appearance to Russian Teacakes or Mexican Wedding Cookies, these have a fragrant hint of almond and a uniquely fruity-nutty profile. They're even better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld. We eat these (surprise) on Christmas morning. Yep, for breakfast."

Ingredients

1. 1 Cup butter (2 sticks), softened
2. 1/3 Cup sugar
3. 1-2 tsp. water
4. 2 tsp. ALMOND EXTRACT
5. 1tsp. VANILLA EXTRACT
6. 2 Cups all-purpose flour
7. 1 Cup chopped pistachios
8. 32dried cherries, for topping
9. 2Cups powdered sugar, for coating

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the ALMOND and VANILLA EXTRACT and mix well, using just enough water to help the dough stick together if need be. Fold in the flour and pistachios, and let the dough chill for 1-2 hours in the fridge.
2. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325°. Shape the dough into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Press one cherry on top of each cookie and bake for 20 minutes. The bottoms will be light golden brown. Remove from the pans and let cool at least 30 minutes.
3. Place the powdered sugar in a big zip-top bag and, a handful at a time, drop the cookies in and gently shake to coat.
