An added bonus is that this dish is very lovely looking on the plate. Be careful to not have the heat too high when you are cooking the chicken though, or your sesame seeds will burn before the chicken is cooked through.

If you cook Southeast Asian dishes even occasionally, you probably already have the coconut milk, fish sauce, Thai green curry sauce, and jasmine rice in your pantry; just about everything else can be purchased fresh at the market. Where I live, we certainly don't get fava beans in August-but the recipe gives enough ingredient options to make this super supper your own creation. And since this stew goes together so easily, you may just want to make a fresh plum tart for dessert.

If you're in the mood for a great grilled steak salad give this recipe a try. For a fun variation, try adding ricotta salata in place of the parmesan.

Lettuce leaves stand in for tortillas, which should please the dieters at your table; and the fact that the guests assemble their own wraps makes this recipe easy on the cook. The filling is served at room temperature, which encourages leisurely dining; and since each wrap contains chicken, rice, veggies, and fruit, you can afford to spend a little more time (and calories) on dessert. I served each guest a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt sandwiched between 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies laced with pecans and coconut...yum. (Wrap each ice cream sandwich individually in plastic wrap, and they can be kept frozen for at least 1 week.)
