Another can of coconut milk recipe, usually a good sign it will be a crowd-pleaser! Another interesting ingredient was lemongrass. I found it in the fresh spice section in a tidy little stalks within a plastic container for fresh spice price ($2.50-ish) and then also as raw, un-cut big stalk for $2.99/lb. Giving into sense of culinary adventure I went with the latter, which amounted to 20 cents (see photo). I was instructed to 'bruise' the bulbous portion of lemongrass and make slits in remainder of the stalk with a knife. Very pleasantly aromatic, enhanced by the ginger, coriander, fresh basil, and lime zest. I did not actually think the girls would eat/enjoy something this exotic, but I did not indicate this sentiment to them, and they ate it, pushing aside the red peppers of course. Very tasty!
