What is the first dish you ever prepared in your new home? I am a bit
superstitious when it comes to food. I believe that the first ever dish one
prepares in their new home would dictate how good the food would be for the
rest of the time you are there. Sounds like a load of bull abi? Don’t mind me,
I am just looking for an excuse for the food I cook to mean something. At least if ever asked what the first dish I
prepared in this flat I would have an answer.
To christen my kitchen I decided to prepare one of my favorites,
goat curry. I wasn’t able to get all the original ingredients but it still
tasted amazing!
Ingredients:
1kg goat meat (diced)
200g spring onions
500g sweet or irish potato (cubed)
I red pepper
1 green pepper
4 scotch bonnet (hot chili)
4 cloves of garlic
ginger
2 tbs of sunflower oil
1 tbs of curry powder
1 tsp of time
2 Knorr cubes
Directions:
Add lemon juice, curry and thyme to the meat, mix thoroughly so that
the meat is evenly coated with the spices and keep aside for at least 10
minutes. (Ideally you should marinade over night but I had just decided that’s
what I wanted to eat for lunch). So what I did was marinade until I had
finished preparing the rest of the ingredients.
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium and add the goat meat
plus all its juices. Turn down the heat and let the meat sweat for about 30
minutes. After 30 minutes increase the heat to medium and add all other ingredients except the potato. Add one cup of water and the Knorr cubes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook on medium heat until the potatoes are soft.
Serve with steamed rice.
