Vindaloo

We came across this recipe when we were trying to figure out what to do with some leftover pork. We recently tried it with chicken. It worked well. This is a great recipe for a quick dinner. Just put the meat in to marinate in the morning or night before and the meal will take about 15 minutes to prepare in the evening. 

Curry Paste Ingredients
2 teaspoons of Ground Coriander
2 teaspoons of Ground Cumin
2 teaspoons for Ground Mustard
2 teaspoons of Ground Cloves
1 teaspoon of Turmeric
2 inch piece of Ginger Peeled and Grated
3/4 cup of White Vinegar OR 1 cup of Vegetable Oil

Main Dish Ingredients
Curry Paste
1 tablespoon of Minced Garlic (or Grated Garlic)
1 1/2 cup of Chopped Onion
1 pound of the Meat of Your Choice Cut into 1/2 inch Cubes (Pork or Chicken)
4 tablespoons of Vegetable Oil
1 can of Diced Tomatoes, Drained
4 cups of white or brown rice
Salt and Pepper to taste


In a non-reactive bowl or glass dish combine the Curry Paste, garlic, and half of the onion.
Add the cubed meat (pork or chicken).
Coat the meat thoroughly with the Curry Paste and leave to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Once the meat is finished marinating, heat the oil in a large skillet over low heat.
Add the remaining onion and saute.
Saute for 5 minutes
Drain the pork, reserving the marinade.
Turn up the heat and add the meat a few cubes at a time.
Toss until the meat is brown on all sides.
Saute for 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes and reserve marinade  
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. 
Serve over hot rice.
