For Wednesday with Donna Hay this week, Chaya chose Donna's chicken and pumpkin stir fry, from p120 of Off the Shelf. I had made something very similar years ago from BBC Good Food, but Donna's recipe is online here.
I skipped the basil because I didn't have any. I thought that this was lovely anyway. I laughed when Chaya chose this, because I would have chosen the same thing until I saw it was already picked.
This is a quick, relatively easy dinner to make. I boiled some rice to go with it, and funnily enough, boiled some beans for the side. (No, I really didn't find the old post until just now when I was typing this.) I love pumpkin in just about anything, and I think it really made this stir fry. I also loved how the chilli gave everything a bit of kick.
To see what Chaya, Sarah and Margaret thought of this dish, visit their websites.
I was really leery of this one. Stir fried pumpkin. But quite good. Didn't realize I had forgotten the basil 'til I read your post. DUH!!
ReplyDeleteI love this combo! I really like Thai basil in it but it can be hard to find at times.
ReplyDeleteI'm with TeaLady on this one, Gaye. Never in a million years would I think of stir fry pumpkin. I'm quite skeptical but, if you give it the thumbs up and Chaya thought it was good enough to choose, I would be willing to give it a taste at least:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing, Gaye...
This looks so pretty and so delicious. And healthy...no reason not to put this one in regular rotation for pumpkin season!
