Directions

Chicken Stock

In a skillet add a tbs. Of oil and sauté the potatoes until they begin to caramelize.

In a large pot over medium high heat, add the remaining oil, then sauté the onions, garlic, and ginger until the onions are translucent. Thoroughly stir in the curry paste. adding the sweet potatoes, chicken thighs, chicken stock, lime leaves, diced tomatoes, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, covered, for about 1 ½ hour or until the chicken is tender enough to fall away from the bones. Remove the bones, and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.

Salad

Divide the spinach among 4 large bowls. Add the cilantro, bean sprouts, and lime zest, juice of the lemon and lime, peppers, walnuts and add the scallions and orange slices as a garnish. Ladle the chicken stock over the spinach and top with the cilantro bean sprout salad. Serve with some crusty bread for a complete meal.
