I wanted to use up a number of herbs before Sandy hit... and since lemongrass was one of them, I decided to head towards Thailand...
In the processor, I buzzed up some chopped lemongrass, tons of garlic, a bunch of cilantro (stems, leaves, roots and all), some habañeros, and splashes of soy sauce and fish sauce. Instead of going the creamy coconut route, I just sautéed some ground beef and just before it stopped being pink, I added about ¾ C of my new green curry sauce and let it fry along with the beef. This was ladled on top of some beautiful Basmati rice.
By the time we were finished, we were sweating and smiling... approaching storm or no!!!!
