You "Can" Cook
By Jeanne Wolfley

Every now and then we get in a dilemma. What in the world can I fix for dinner and how can I get it done pronto? This is the time to have a few recipes for meals that can be prepared in minutes from cans already sitting on the pantry self.

It’s almost mind boggling to me that toting up a few cans of food will generate a darn good meal. I asked family and friends for their favorites and was flabbergasted at how resourceful people can be with the meals that they create mostly from cans. I was even more impressed with how tasty they are. It stands to reason that even if you don’t like or feel like cooking you really “Can” Cook!

Coconut Chicken Curry

2 (13 ounce) cans white chicken breast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 ½ Tablespoons canola oil
2 Tablespoons curry powder
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
½ medium Onion thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 red potatoes cut into small chunks
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 (14 ounce) canned diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 Tablespoons sugar
2 cups Jasmine rice (cooked)

Heat oil, curry powder, and paprika in a large skillet over medium-low heat for two minutes, until fragrant (but don’t let it burn). Turn the heat up to medium and stir in the onions and garlic and cook for ten minutes more or until onions are clear. Add the chicken, tossing lightly to coat with the curry oil and cook for 5 minutes. Add potatoes, then add coconut milk, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and sugar into the pan, and stir to combine. Cover and simmer. Stir occasionally for about 30 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Serve on hot rice. If the sauce is too thick thin a little with chicken broth or water.

Chewy Chili, Cheese Casserole
(Microwavable)

This recipe was given to me when I was first married. It literally takes 5 minutes to make. The hominy gives this casserole a nice chewy texture. This is great served with biscuits and a salad. My children all love this one.

3 (15 ounce) cans of Chili
1 (15 ounce) can white hominy
¾ cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Open cans of chili into a glass baking dish. Open can of hominy, drain and rinse, then add to chili and stir. Cover top of casserole with cheese and bake in microwave until bubbly and heated through. Microwaves heating time varying by microwave but it should be in the 3 – 5 minute range.

1 cans red kidney beans
¾ cup salsa
½ cup 2% cottage cheese

½ cup mushrooms
2 Tablespoon Chile powder
¼ - ½ teaspoon cumin
hot sauce to taste

Heat frying pan to medium heat, cook turkey until brown throughout.

In a large pot, combine salsa, beans, peppers, onion, mushrooms, cottage cheese, pasta sauce and water. Stir occasionally until heated.

Thai Coconut Chicken Soup

1 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 Tablespoons grated ginger
4 – 6 teaspoons Thai red curry paste
6 cups chicken broth
3 Tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce
1 Tablespoons light brown sugar
2 (14 oz.) cans coconut milk. (NOT cream of coconut which is sweetened!)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (trimmed and sliced thin into 1-inch strips
½ lb white mushrooms, trimmed and sliced thin
3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
½ cup whole fresh cilantro leaves

Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Stir in the ginger and curry paste and cook for 1 minute. Add ½ cup of the broth and stir until the curry paste dissolves. Stir in the remaining broth, the fish sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook, partially covered for 15 minutes.

Stir in the coconut milk, chicken, and mushrooms. Simmer until the chicken is cooked, about 15 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt. Sprinkle the bowls of soup with cilantro leaves before serving.

This soup can be cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. It cannot be frozen, due to the coconut milk. Reheat over low heat, taking care not to let it boil.
