Hunger Games: Katniss' Favorite Plumb Curry

Yesterday I went to go see the Hunger Games movie with my girls and before hand a few of us had dinner. I decided to make Plumb Curry to celebrate, and then was disappointed that the plumb curry never made it into the movie. (too bad) So I guess it is a secret that those of us who have read the books too many times get to keep. Enjoy and may the odds be ever in your flavor...I mean favor ;)



Hunger Games Plumb Curry

2 tbsp butter
1.2 medium onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
2 medium carrots sliced thin into founds
3 stalks celery diced
1/2 cup diced poblano chilies
1/2 cup diced yellow or red peppers
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp Jamaican curry powder
1 cup diced dried plumbs
1/2 cup golden rasins
2 bone-in chicken breasts
3 cups chicken broth

1. Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed stock pot. Saute the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and peppers until the onion is translucent. Add the curry and flour and cook, stirring constantly for one minute.
2. Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring quickly. Add chicken breasts meat side down, ans sprinkle the plumbs and rasins on to of the chicken.
3. Bring the sauce to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
4. Take the chicken out, shred meat off the bone and add it back into the pot. Serve over couscous.
