So I had some pork mince (ground pork) and the usual
question arose – what to do with it. I
also had some leftover coconut milk. I
ended up with this non-traditional curry that worked out well.
Ingredients:
Pork mince
Potato
Coconut milk
Turmeric
Curry powder
Fish sauce
Pepper
Crispy shallots
Lemon juice
Chicken stock cube
Vegetable Oil
Method:
Brown the mince – just a quick cook, it won't go very
brown
Add the crispy shallots (store bought from the Asian
section)
Oil the bottom of a casserole dish. Layer slices of potato on it – I used salad
potatoes.
Then put the mince/onion mix on top.
Mix together the coconut milk, turmeric, curry powder,
Fish sauce, pepper and lemon juice – adding the crumbled stock cube. Pour this over the pork and potato. If you don't have fish sauce just add salt or
soy sauce.
Bake in a moderate oven for about 1 hour – just check
the potatoes are tender before you decide it's ready.
The result was creamy potatoes and a combination of
crispy pork bits and softer ones. A nice
texture.
I love curry anything and this looks like a super way to use up what you had.
