This was almost a year ago at the &#8220;Radio Regenbogen Award&#8221;. They were presented a &#8220;Newcomer 2014&#8221; award for their incredibly successful single &#8220;Calm After The Storm&#8221; and their debut album.<br \/>\nWhat a lovely and down to earth lot they are. Working with &#8220;The Linnets&#8221; is fun. It is almost like being on a little holiday trip with good friends. They make it easy to forget that you are actually working if there weren&#8217;t journalists, photographers and camera crews reminding you that you are in the middle of a job &#x1f604;<\/p>\n<p>The last time I saw them we ordered Thai take-away after a radio gig for NDR2. So I decided to go towards this culinary direction in my recipe for them.<\/p>\n<p>Thai is always a good pick as it is easy to make, fresh, healthy and can be cooked vegan as well, if desired.<\/p>\n<p>In this case I had to go for a chicken curry as Ilse &amp; JB mentioned chicken as one of their favourite ingredients in my questionnaire. Tofu or shrimps are good choices as well&#8230;or simply go for veggies only, if you like.<br \/>\nIf you don&#8217;t fancy a certain veggie or ingredient in this recipe feel free to use something else instead. Be creative.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blondishious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-320\" src=\"http:\/\/blondishious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image8-285x300.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"285\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blondishious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image8-285x300.jpg 285w, http:\/\/blondishious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/image8-974x1024.jpg 974w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And here we go&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>INGREDIENTS:<\/strong><br \/>\n1 tbs peanut oil<br \/>\n2 &#8211; 3 chicken breasts (cut in small pieces)<br \/>\n2 onions (peeled and cut in quarters)<br \/>\n2 tbs green or red curry paste (you can buy pre-made in all Asian food shops)<br \/>\n300 ml chicken stock (from the jar)<br \/>\n300 ml coconut milk<br \/>\n4 kaffir lime leaves<br \/>\n1 ts brown sugar<br \/>\n1 carrot (peeled and sliced)<br \/>\n6 cherry tomatoes (cut in halves)<br \/>\nsmall handful of snow peas<br \/>\n4 baby corns<br \/>\nhandful of green baby aubergines (I left them on the branch as it looks nicer)<br \/>\n2 branches of fresh, green peppercorns (available in Asian food shops.
