HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I can't believe it is 2014 already! Where does the time go?
**
This was so good! I have not mastered curry yet. I have made one amazing curry that was not in the crock pot but it took me ALL DAY LONG! I love a good crock pot curry because it takes all day to cook, it just doesn't take me all day!
I used this recipe ... I didn't change it ... the credit is all theirs!
1 tablespoon peanut oil
750g beef chuck steak, trimmed, cut into bite size pieces
1 onion, halved, thinly sliced
1/4 cup thai massaman curry paste
2 garlic cloves, crushed
6 cardamom pods, bruised
1 cinnamon stick
2 kaffir lime leaves, vein removed, chopped
270ml can coconut milk
500g potatoes, peeled, cut into same size as beef
2 large carrots, peeled, thickly sliced
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
Rice, cooked (I do ours in the rice cooker)
Chopped dry roasted peanuts and coriander leaves, to serve
Brown the beef in batches in 1/2 tablespoon peanut oil. Put in crock pot.
Saute onion in remaining 1/2 tablespoon peanut oil until soft. Add curry paste and garlic. Cook for a minute ... until it smells amazing. Put in crock pot.
When finished, pick out the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick. Add lime juice. Serve on top of rice, sprinkled with peanuts and coriander.
