Red Curry and Coconut Chicken Soup
Coconut oil made for medium to high heat is tasteless and one of the best oils you can use in cooking. When oils are heated, they can become carcenogenic. Coconut oil does not do this. A good test is to use it for heating tortillas. It’s very nice to use because it’s not as greasy as olive oil.
