      I am sick in bed but while I have rested I've been cooking up a highly regarded dish in my crock pot that I learned a few months ago and adapted to make "Honey Lemon Garlic Chicken Stew", which is reminiscent of Indian style dishes. I figured I'm not doing anything else productive, I might as well type up a new food blog. I let several friends try it and they liked it a lot and one asked me to write the recipe, so here it is. As usual I leave flexible room for your preferred taste, so adjust the ingredients (especially the spices and herbs) to your own liking. 

While your here, I hope you'll check out my last podcast with Kelly Jacobs on her initiative #48 measure regarding cannabis regulation in Mississippi. You can hear it here on the Coastal Noise Podcast page. 


INGREDIENTS:


4-6 diced chicken thighs (you can also use beef)

-2 medium sized potatoes 

-2 or 3 large carrots

-1 large onion 

-several cloves of garlic

-Approximately 1/2 cup of ketchup

-Approximately 1/2 cup of soy sauce (I use low sodium)

-1/4 cup of honey

-2 to 3 tablespoons of lemon juice

-2 Tbsp of olive oil (optional)

(Spices)

-Turmeric, cumin, basil, garlic powder (if needed), chile powder, ground ginger, & brown sugar

DIRECTIONS:

Cut your meat with a knife or kitchen scissors and place it into the crock pot

Dice your carrots and add to the mix. Next do the potatoes. Make sure to wash everything first! You can follow with the onion.

Now it's time for the sauce. The ketchup, soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice will morph over the hours into a delcious vineager concoction. Pour in your soy sauce, ketchup and olive oil (if you want it). Squeeze in your lemon juice next. Now slowly pour the honey over all that food. You know you want to.

Oh yeah. Somebody's been a bad bear. 

Now, let's get funky with the spices and herbs. This part is subjective so if you want more or less of something, go for it. This is just a guideline. 

Add 1 to 2 Tbsp of Turmeric 

Add a couple dashes of Cumin

Add a dash of Ground Ginger 

Add 1 to 2 Tbsp of Chile Powder 

Add 2 Tbsp of Brown Sugar

Add a couple dashes of Garlic Powder (unless you only use real garlic)

And a generous amount of Basil 

Be sure to add salt and pepper if you want some traditional seasoning. I used a little of both.

Are you kidding me? Just look at how sexy that is. 

Now if you want true respect from the Indians, you can't skip on the real garlic. I used about 5 or 6 cloves, diced and topped over the pot.

Stay with me Dorothy, we still have to let this thing simmer. Turn it on low and kick back for 6-8 hours. Go on and handle your business. This dish is a strong, independent woman. She will take care of herself while your away, Jack. When you come back, you'll have this on your hands.

Take the phone off the hook. You'll have to get back with them later.
