As you may recall, I am currently cooking with and reviewing WORLDFOOD’s all natural ingredient Asian sauces, as part of the Fusion Taste Team USA Campaign. Since the weather is finally starting to feel more like fall in Washington DC, I have started craving more comfort foods. One of my family’s favorite comfort dinner’s is Shepard’s Pie. I typically make it with ground turkey or beef, mashed potatoes and corn. Every now and then I may even throw in some prosciutto for extra flavor.
When browsing the WORLDFOODS recipes, I came across a Green Curry Chicken Pot Pie that immediatly peaked my interest. My mouth began watering as soon as I saw the recipe, so I added all the ingredients to my shopping list, with plans to make it. My plan came to a halt when I had a hard time locating the frozen pastry puff for the top of the pie. Instead, I decided to test out the Green Curry Sauce, in a Thai twist on my standard Shepard’s Pie recipe. I was more than pleased with the final results! The flavors of the vegetables, meat and green curry sauce worked out surprisingly well. The Thai spin really kicks up this traditional American dish.
