Andy made this incredible chicken curry dish a couple of days ago, and it was wonderful for a freezing winter night. Having perfected a chicken-curry-in-a-hurry recipe I gave him almost two decades ago, he has amended it with some lemongrass paste to add a little something extra. In winter, comfort food like this is what gets us through the early dimming of the day. It has layers of sunshine in it, with a full, fresh pineapple cut into little chunks, succulent cherry tomatoes that explode with tartness once their outer skin is broken, and baby ears of corn lending sweetness and a crunchy texture. Snow peas give the dish some welcome greenery, a blast of spring even if it’s still just an abstract notion looming faintly and far in the future.
We talked of opening the pool early, and that spark of hope will last us through the coldest days.
