INSTRUCTIONS
Another that's not vegetarian but has lots of non-meat recipes is called
"Hot Stuff, a Cookbook in praise of the piquant" by Jessica Harris. ISBN
number 0-689-11483-4. My copy is dated 1985 so you'll only find a copy if
you get lucky in a used book store. But it's well worth the look. It's got
some fantastic recipes.
My favorite recipe from Hot Stuff follows. It's a fantastic side dish with
a very subtle flavor and it works well with any amount of heat you choose.
Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and saute
them until golden. Add the corn. Combine the cornstarch with 1 cup of the
coconut milk, stirring well, then add it to the mixture along with the
tomato,pimentos, curry, salt and pepper.
Cook uncovered, stirring often until the juice is absorbed. Add the
remaining coconut milk and the lemon juice. Stir. Garnish with the parsley
and serve.
Serves 8 to 10.
