Mulligatawny, which literally means pepper water, is an English interpretation of an Indian dish. It has seemingly limitless versions, but most have curry and a bit of chicken. We’ve added tart Granny Smith apples, plenty of spice and a touch of coconut milk.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
1 1/2 teaspoons hot Madras curry powder (see note)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup white basmati rice
12 ounces chicken breast tenders, cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup lite coconut milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds (see Note), optional
Perfect meringues depend on totally yolk-free whites. The seemingly fussy step of separating each egg into a small bowl before combining them guarantees yolk-free whites for bakeshop-quality meringues every time. These crispy little morsels travel well and make great gifts too.
Ingredients
3 large egg whites, at room temperature (see Note)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
