Cooking With LSP, Just Throw it in The Pot



One of the many benefits of Easter is that you get leftover lamb. What do you do with all that lamb? Cut it up and throw it in the pot with diced onions and garlic, and fry it in olive oil and butter. 




Add some curry powder, tomato and chili powder. Don't be shy, chuck it in. After all, this isn't a fancy pants Ivy League curry, or a Druid Hill, Trump 2016, I went to Emory curry. No, it's just a rough and ready, throw-it-in-the-pot, take it as you find it curry.




Let it simmer, as you drink a cold beer. I like Fosters, which reminds me of England, even though it's from Australia.




Perhaps you roll out some dough and make naan bread in an iron skillet, perhaps not, there's no "rule." And then, simmer over, serve with rice and eat that scoff like a warrior.

Cheers,

LSP

I'm not much of a lamb kinda guy, but I imagine some bottom round might do just fine. Then put some mashed potatoes (or should I say mashed taters, since I am now a Texas property taxpayer) over the lot of it, bake it for around 30 minutes at 350, and there you go: The Good Reverend's 'The Lord is Our' Shepherd's Pie.

I like the sound of that, Fredd. Tasty.

I'm not much for Fosters any more, especially since the stuff for sale here is made in Canadia. Hopefully once I'm done with chemo, I'll still have a taste for Guinness and amber ales. There's one out of Dallas, called the Fire Ant Funeral amber ale, by the Texas Ale Project. I don't know if they're available in my neck of the woods, we have stuff out of Houston (St Arnold's and No Label Brewing) and southwest Louisiana (Abita is one, I think).

Looks so good, LSP.

Where is the ginger, garlic and coriander? Then there is the cumin, black mustard seeds, bay leaves, turmeric, fennel and Cardomom. You been away from Blighty too long!

Prayers for successful treatment, Mattexian, and a return to beer!

It was tasty, Adrienne. I like a curry now and again.

I know, Anonymous, I was waiting for someone to say that... and I'd normally (lately) do something like you suggest. But this was just a quick fix with whatever came to hand. I miss good Indian food, as it goes. Kind of rare here.
