Ingredients
-
30 ml (2 tbsp) of olive oil
-
755 g (1 2/3 pound) Highland veal cubes
-
2 onions, chopped
-
15 ml (1 Tbsp) ginger*
-
15 ml (1 Tbsp) curry powder*
-
10 ml (2 tsp.) chopped garlic
-
1 can coconut milk (400ml)
-
500 ml (2 cups) chicken or vegetable broth
-
30 ml (2 Tbsp) tomato paste
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
2 apples, diced
-
60 ml (1/4 cup) raisins
Preparation
- In a large deep skillet or casserole, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté ( English recipes use sauté!) veal cubes 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the cubes and place in a bowl.
- Add the onions to the casserole and stir while cooking until tender. Meanwhile, mix together the ginger, curry, garlic and tomato paste and add to the onions.
- Pour in the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable broth. Mix well, scraping the bottom of the skillet to get all the yummy brown bits.
- Add the veal cubes and pour everything into a crock pot. Cover and let cook 7 hrs. on low heat.
- About 45 minutes before the end of cooking, add apples and raisins.
- Serve on basmati rice, accompanied by a good Naan bread.
* For this recipe, I use finely grated fresh ginger - I do not hesitate to put in a "good" tbsp.
*I use the “Wholesome Curry” (that I grind myself) from Épices de cru – Ethné and Philippe de Venne, Spice Hunters. They also have a Madras curry which will do just as well.
