Found a recipe online and changed it a bit to try. Smells fantastic!

2 tablespoons olive oil

5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs - fat trimmed

1 onion, chopped

1 yellow pepper, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice

1 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup grapefruit juice

1 tablespoons dried rosemary, or to taste

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and brown the chicken thighs in the hot oil, about 5 minutes per side. Set the chicken aside.

2. In the same skillet, cook and stir the onion and peppers until the peppers have softened, about 10 minutes. Mix in the garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 more minutes.

3. Pour in the tomatoes with their juice, white wine, grapefruit juice, rosemary, salt, and black pepper, and stir until thoroughly combined.

4. Stir in the chicken pieces and any accumulated juices, cover the skillet, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the chicken is tender and no longer pink inside, 30 to 40 minutes.

RH1,

Sorry if I haven't caught your recipe on here before, but how exactly do you make kimchie? Is it a long process? Maybe I'm thinking of something different, but isn't kimchie kind of an asian saurkraut?

[reinhard1]

there are over 180 different kimchies in the world. mainly in Asia of course. kimchi is one of the top 5 healthiest foods in the world. as for the sourkraut and kimchie similarities, they are both primarily cabbage but different kinds. they are both fermented but in different ways. realy apples and oranges so to speak.

kimchi as i stated is made different ways. cucumbers are used also [my favorite]. it has hot peppers,garlic,ginger, and i also use daikon radishes in all mine as an ingrediant. i have started many threads here i cant remember where i put the recipe. actualy the cucumber one was put on here by another member. if you would like a recipe let me know and i will post it. if you dont like it hot, then you may not want it. it's only as hot as you make it though. good luck.

If you don't mind, I'd love to try it. I'm all about the spicy stuff and I love asian food.

Kimchie

one head of napa cabage

one daikon radish about a pound and a half

1 pack of shredded carrots [10 oz] pack

4 bunches of green onions

5 jalopenos split

2 tbls grated ginger

2 tbls diced garlic [i use the stuff in the jar]

2 tbls sugar [i use 4 pacs of sweet and low] diet deal

49.5 oz can chicken broth [plus i use a couple of the smaller cans if i need it

2 tbls cayane pepper give or take [ i get the crushed red pepper from the korean store]

salt

put about 3/4 gal of water in a plastic container. i use a large tupperware container. put enough salt in the water to float an egg. cut the cabbage in 1 inch pieces, throw in the shredded carrots, cut the green onions in one inch pieces, slice the radish thin, and split the peppers and leave the seeds in. put all that in the salt water and cover and leave out overnight in room temperature till the next day.

the next day drain all the salt water from the container. put enough chicken stock over the vegies in there just to cover them. then put in the ginger,garlic,sugar, and cayenne pepper. i also add 2 tbls of fish oil [optional]. mix everything well and put in the fridge. wait 3 days [mixing it a few times during that time] then eat it with rice and as a side dish with oriental meals.

after awhile you can do this in your head as i do. some of this and some of that and make smaller batches or larger ones. any questions just ask. i typed this out from memory. good luck.

THANKS SO MUCH RH!

Can't wait to try it, Trying to eat a little healthier and this sounds like it's right up my alley!

One questions is a Daikon Radish available at major grocery chains? Never had to buy one before.

[reinhard1]

they should have it. i get mine at cubs. it's white and long, near the napa cabbage. i have also used it in salads. very juicy and crisp. wash it and peel the outer skin off. i shredd half and slice thin the other half. when the pickle size cukes come in season [i grow my own also] i make cucumber kimchie. my altime favorite. good luck.
