Coconut Red Curry Chicken with Spinach
Sear chicken thighs in a hot pan until browned, then set aside. In the same pan, stir in red curry paste and cook briefly until fragrant, then pour in coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in spinach until wilted, then finish with a generous squeeze of lime juice. Serve over rice.
(Assumes you have: cooking oil, salt, and rice on hand.)
About this tool
This tool works in the opposite direction from every other tool in this category: instead of starting with a recipe, it starts with whatever's actually in your fridge and works backward to a dish. Give it a list of ingredients on hand and it proposes one complete recipe idea built mostly around those, noting any common pantry staple (oil, salt, a basic spice) it's assuming you also have. It's built for the "what can I make with this" moment, not for browsing recipe ideas in the abstract.
Frequently asked questions
What if I don't have every ingredient it assumes?+
The tool flags assumed pantry staples separately so you can quickly check what you're missing before starting to cook.
Will it suggest a recipe using only the ingredients I listed?+
It builds mostly around your listed ingredients but may assume very common staples like oil or salt, which it will call out explicitly.
Can I list ingredients that don't obviously go together?+
Yes, the tool will do its best to find a coherent dish; more compatible ingredients will naturally produce a more polished suggestion.
