JULY Cover Feature:Stone Bar Inn Restaurant ~ Celebrating 80 Years!A Cordon Bleu of London graduate in 1981, Andrew has been entertaining Poconodiners for twenty years...

”It’s hard to believe it’s been fi fteen years since I acquired the Stone Bar. Even more so is the realization I’ve been a chef here in the Pocono’s for over twenty fi ve! Over these years I’ve been fortunate. I’ve been mentored by some of the best in the hospitality industry; they remainbenevolent, supportive and dear friends. I have traveled extensively, and made many culinary discoveries that inspired my creativity. Have met many wonderful customers, and fostered many great friendships. I have had the honor to work alongside of many great staff members, so much so we’ve become like family. Most importantly I’ve shared all this with my wife Carol; my source for all that is good”.

Karena’s KitchenIngredients 1 tsp. of oil (to cover tray)2-1/4 cups coarse coconut fl akes1 cup of honey

Karena’s KitchenIngredients 1 tbsp. oil (olive, coconut, peanutor high-oleic saffl ower)1/2 medium onion, chopped (optional)1 medium red bell pepper; cored, seeded and choppedSalt or seasoning salt to taste

2 tbsp. Curry Powder1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breastsor thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces1 can unsweetened coconut milk12 oz. fresh or frozen green beans

DirectionsHeat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet. The actual amount of oil depends on the size of the pan. You want a thin coating on the bottom. Add the onion and red bell pepper. Stir and cook until onion is translucent and getting soft. While that is cooking, cut the chicken. Add the curry powder (including the salt or seasoning salt). The amount will depend on the brand of spice mix you use, It just depends on how spicy the blend is and how spicy you like your food. Stir until the you start to smell the spices. Add the chicken pieces. Stir until almost cooked through. Add the coconut milk. (Note: This makes a fairly soupy curry. If you want it thicker, just add 2/3 of the can.) Add the green beans. Bring to a boil and simmer until green beans are al dente.

DirectionsAdd 3 cups fl our into a bowl. Add the oil. Add the hot water. Mix with a table-spoon since the dough will be quite hot with the boiling water. Take some of the remaining fl our and dust the work top. Remove the dough from your bowl and place on the work top. If it is sticky then add a little fl our until it is soft and manageable. Knead the dough until a soft pliable dough is formed, this could take up to 5 minutes, keep kneading the dough until a soft dough forms. Like most breads the key to soft bread is a dough that is well kneaded! Once a soft dough is achieved, cover the dough with a dishcloth. Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes while you heat the pan. I leave the pan on low heat while I am rolling the rotis then turn up to high heat a minute or two prior to cooking the rotis. Melt the butter and return to the dough. Break off a small piece of about 3 inches diameter then roll into a large circle shape. Take the melted butter or ghee and spread over the circle shaped dough, then roll the dough like a Swiss roll. Roll inward towards you. Once you have formed a snake-like shape then cut into even pieces. Take one of the cut pieces and stand upright and press down with your hand, this will create a circle when fl attened. Dust your hands with fl our, work the small circle into a round shape and place onto work top and roll into a fl at round disc. Make sure the roti is rolled as fl at as possible. Thick rotis take longer to cook and are often too heavy to rise resulting in uncooked tasteless roti. Take care to overlap the roti so they don’t stick to each other. To cook your soft roti simply place on the hot preheated pan (the pan should be hot). The cooking time for each roti should be 1 minute. Allow the roti to cook for a 5-10 seconds before turning it over. On the second side allow to cook for a little longer, pressing the sides with your fi ngers to ensure that it cooks. Once the roti rises, or you see bubbles form, turn the roti and allow the dough to rise once more. Careful not to burn your fi ngers as this can be quite hot. Once you have golden brown spots the roti is cooked. Remove from pan and repeat this process for all remaining roti. Once all are cooked cover with a piece of paper towel or dishcloth, this will keep the moisture in keeping roti soft until you are ready to serve them.

“Have a recipe you would like to share? Send them to Karena Lewis at [email protected] and we will display them in our next issue.”

DirectionsGrease a tray with the oil. Mix honey and 2 cups of coconut fl akes into a saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat. Once it reaches boiling, start stirring quickly and continuously until it turns into a darker color (like caramel). Pour the mixture onto the tray and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cool, dip your hands in some oil to coat and then make balls. They can then be rolled in coconut or sugar.

Karena’s Kitchen Ingredients 3-1/3 c. cake fl our1/2 tsp. salt2 tbsp. vegetable oil

1/2 c. fl our for dusting the work surface1 c. hot water

Roti Curry Chicken

Sorrel

DirectionsBring the water to a boil, remove from the heat, and add the sorrel and ginger. Let steep about 45 minutes, strain. Add ice cubes to a shaker. For 2 servings, add to the shaker about 2 or 3 ounces strained juice, 2 ounces simple syrup, a splash of lime juice, and a jigger of rum. Shake well and pour.
