• servings: 6 servings
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

3 tablespoons sesame oil (or olive oil)

1 1/2 pounds ground chicken ((or ground pork))

black pepper and chili flakes

3 tablespoons salted butter

1-3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste

3-4 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger

2 bell peppers, sliced

1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks

1 cup cashews or peanuts

1/2 cup tamari or soy sauce

1-2 tablespoons honey ((or real maple syrup))

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

4 green onions, chopped

1/4 cup fresh chopped Thai basil or basil

sweet Thai chili sauce and sesame seeds (for topping (optional))

Directions

1. In a large skillet, combine the oil, chicken, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chili paste, butter, garlic, and ginger. Cook 2 minutes, until the butter browns and the chicken gets crispy.

2. Mix in the peppers, 3/4 cup pineapple, and cashews. Cook another 2-5 minutes. Pour over the tamari and honey. Cook until the sauce coats the chicken, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

3. In a bowl, toss 3/4 cup pineapple with the cilantro and basil.

4. Serve the chicken, peppers, and sweet chili sauce over bowls of rice. Top with the pineapple/cilantro/basil. Add the chopped green onions, and if desired, serve with sweet Thai chili sauce and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
