Thai Holy Basil Chicken (Phat Prik Bae Gra Pao)

This is an awesome dish that is easy to make. Go on a field trip and get some *Holy Basil* at a Thai grocery store. This is just a fantastic dish. *Hot*

From thaitable.com

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4-7 Thai chili pepper, minced
1 tablespoon sugar (or a little less IMHO -AH)
1-2 Cups holy basil leaves
1/2 lb ground chicken or turkey (or pork I guess)
1 tablespoon garlic, minced (or two cloves or whatever)
2-3 tablespoons fish sauce

Mince garlic and chili pepper together. Clean and pick gra-pow leaves from their stem. It may appear like a lot of leaves, but the leaves will shrink when cooked and this dish's flavor comes from the leaves.

Fry the garlic and chili pepper in oil over high heat. When garlic starts to turn brown, drop the ground chicken in. Stir constantly. The juice will start to come out. Keep stirring until all the juice is gone. It might take a couple of minutes. Add sugar and fish sauce. Then add Thai basil. Quickly turn it over a few times to mix the leaves with the meat and then remove from the fire and put the gai pad gra pow in the serving plate or dishes. Serve hot with rice.

Mike Wuest's California Salsa
(with generous tweaking from Matti Harm)


28 oz. can of whole tomatoes (Italian plum works best)
2 small to medium cloves garlic, crushed and finely chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, stems cut off
2 capfuls vinegar (Aharm says 4 - 6 caps) (white recommended, but may not be essential)
1/2 tsp. salt (less will probably do, too)
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 cup chopped onions (this can vary quite a bit, depending on the strength of the onions)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional and can vary quite a bit, enough to add some cilantro aroma.)

Preparation:


Set up a blender and pour in the juice from the can of tomatoes. Then add the garlic, vinegar, and jalapenos.
Liquefy the mixture.
If you have a hand blending utensil, put the tomatoes in a mixing bowl and add to it the salt, chili powder and contents of the blender. Otherwise, add the salt and chili powder to the blender.
Blend carefully until the consistency is to your liking.
If you used the blender in the last step, transfer its contents to a mixing bowl and stir in the onions and cilantro.
Chill before serving. Makes about 1 quart
Notes from Matti Harm:

Mike Wuest is a professional colleague whom I met early in my career. For many years he has worked at the Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards Air Force Base, CA. He is a fellow Midwesterner (Dayton, Ohio) in the parachute business who has a love of Mexican cuisine. During a meeting break ten or so years ago, the subject of salsas came up, and Mike suggested I try a recipe of his. He wrote it down from memory on a sheet of engineering note paper, which I have managed to avoid losing over the years.

Mike's recipe called for some sugar (2 teaspoons) and oregano or basil instead of cilantro. (Can you imagine that he actually hates cilantro?) It was too sweet for my taste, and I really like cilantro. That's how my recipe came to be.

Getting consistent results is a goal I have yet to reach. I have found that the can of tomatoes used makes the biggest difference in the salsa's texture. Some 28-ounce brands have less juice than others, making for a thicker salsa. Even though I follow this recipe faithfully, sometimes it ends up not as good as I remember previous batches. Onions, tomatoes, and peppers all vary from time to time, so it's always a challenge.
