Coconut Curry Chikn and Spiced Corn {Recipe}

May 3, 2012 By Heather Blackmon

.

I came home from work yesterday and had no idea what we were eating for dinner. I wasn’t feeling very creative, but I was feeling hungry.

Luckily, Kirk came running to the rescue with this delicious dinner – I love that he enjoys cooking too! I have him trained so well (good thing I’m officially a coach now), he even took notes as he cooked, so I could share this recipe with you today. Isn’t he awesome?!

So while I took a bit of a break (and worked on my own training plan), he spiralized, grilled, and sautéed. Dinner was served with just enough time to enjoy and then head out to bible study.

And now to share this yummy dinner with you!

Coconut Curry Chikn and Spiced Corn

by Kirk Blackmon

Keywords: grill entree vegan vegetarian

Ingredients (4 servings)

  • 4 ears corn
  • 3/4 cup dehydrated soy curls
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 c sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1/4 cup sour cherries
  • 3/4 cup jasmine rice
  • 1/4 cup forbidden black rice
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

Shuck corn and rehydrate soy curls according to package directions.

Combine almond milk & coconut in blender and mix until smooth (will still be some texture).

Combine curry, cumin, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow dish (I used Tupperware). Add milk mixture to spices. Coat corn with milk mixture, rolling around to thoroughly coat. Let sit for at least 10 minutes – the longer the better.

Pre-heat grill to high. Cook rice in rice cooker, or according to package directions.

Meanwhile, spiralize cucumber into strips like spaghetti.

After marinating, wrap corn in aluminum foil and place in grill for 20 minutes (reserve marinade). Rotate corn a 1/4 turn every 5 minutes. Add soy curls to marinate.

Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened. Add mushrooms, spiralized cucumber, cherries, and cooked rice to marinade.

Plate dinner with 1 ear of corn & 1/4 of marinated mixture per serving. Sprinkle lightly with salt to bring out the flavors even more. Enjoy!

After dinner, I provided dessert. I walked to the freezer and pulled out two each of these fantastic Healthy Bites I just received from Lindsay Cotter!! Well, I did think to order them ahead of time, so I still kind of provided dessert, right?

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
