Day 13 - Portobello Curry with Green Rice

After the disappointing salad we had last night, I was ready to try something different today. The kids and David were on their day off from school and we had time to go shop together at the grocery store. David is not a big fan of curry, but I had seen a recipe for Portobello Curry with Green Rice in Better Homes and Gardens (All Vegetable - Grand Prize Winner) and decided to give it a try.

It has a lot of ginger and a lot of garlic and the recipe didn't say "divided" after it listed the ingredients to it's really my fault, but I ended up putting all the ginger and all the garlic into the green sauce for the rice but it turns out that you need 1/2 for the sauce and 1/2 for the curry. Bummer. I also forgot to add the peanuts at the end, but it was still really good.
