Just Another Meatless Monday #52 Giveaway Post

It's time to celebrate, I've been hosting Just Another Meatless Monday for 52 weeks! An entire year of inspirational meatless meals from around the world. I love the friends I have made and all the delicious recipes that have come my way. To celebrate I decided to have a little giveaway. There was a hint in yesterday's post:

Did you figure it out? Yes, I'm giving away and brand new copy of one of my favorite cookbooks of all time, the Moosewood Cookbook. It is full of vegetarian recipes for all cooking abilities and it will inspire you again and again. I love this book, which is why I bought it for the giveaway. To be entered to win you MUST:

• be a follower and
• blog roll Hey What's For Dinner Mom? and
• link up a recipe to this post

Do all three and you will be entered to win the cookbook. Multiple entries of past recipes will be accepted. I'd really like to hit at least 52 recipes this week! I'm also working on getting Mollie to sign the book for you, we'll see how that pans out.

This week I made this very simple and delicious Curry Sauce, it reminds me of the Curry Sauce in Bridget Jones' Diary, at least in the way it looks. I served it over hot brown rice, it was so good I wish I had made more rice so we could have eaten more of the sauce. As it is, I have the leftovers tucked away in the fridge for a some wonderful leftovers later this week.

Curry Sauce
2 TBSP good cooking oil
1 TBSP butter
1/2 a large sweet onion, chopped
2 TBSP curry powder**more or less depending on how you like it
1/2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped
1 cup vegetable broth
1 13 1/2 ounce can coconut milk
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
dash of fish sauce
salt and pepper to taste

heat the oil and butter over medium low heat in a 10 inch skillet
when melted and warmed add the onion and cook until soft and translucent about 10 minutes, don't brown them
add the curry powder and ginger stir for 30 seconds
add the broth and stir, scraping up and crispy bits
add the coconut milk and whisk to incorporate
cook until reduced by half
add the basil and fish sauce cook for two minutes more
strain through a sieve
add salt and pepper to taste if desired

Oh and I will be checking to make sure the chosen winner has followed the directions, if they haven't I'll draw a new winner.

Peace and Love--
