stew!
Soo, here we go.
Ingredients[some of these measurements are rough]:
3lb meat, cubed [I used pork, but obviously any meat will do]
1 medium yellow onion [sliced]
1 clove garlic [minced]
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp salt
2 tsp oregano
1 tbsp hot madras curry powder
2c carrots [I used baby carrots, cut in half]
6 small red potatoes [cubed]
1c sugar snap peas
flour
Directions:
1. Lightly brown meat [I did mine in my george foreman], place in a large pot with onion slices and minced garlic. Add water so that it rises about 1 inch above the meat. Add salt, pepper, and oregano. Simmer on low heat until there is hardly any water left, stirring every 15 minutes or so.
2. I now added enough water so that it covered the meat, plus took up the last half of the pot [I'm not sure how much this would make sense to anyone other than me, so basically, if the meat took up 1/2 the pot, I would add enough water to cover 3/4 of the pot] Add the curry powder and carrots, let cook on medium-low heat [making sure it doesn't boil, if so, turn it down] for about 45 minutes.
3. Add potatoes and peas [mine were still in the pod], cook until potatoes are your desired consistency. If you need more water, add a little more [I didn't need to, though].
4. This part was tricky for me. I didn't want pork-vegetable soup, so I added flour, tablespoon at a time, until it was my desired consistency. At this point, I also tasted the broth and it tasted fine to me, but if you're not happy with it, then just add whatever seasonings sound best for you.
I don't like pork, so I picked that out and ate everything else. My boyfriend LOVED it, instructing me to freeze all of the leftovers for when I'm not home to make dinner, haha! I baked this french herb bread to dip, and the flavors blended well.
I also have a question: I know about the rule about how if you found the recipe somewhere else, just post the link. I have a lot of recipes from my grandmas as well as my mom, and I'm unsure if I should post any of my favorites in case they snagged them from somewhere? I wouldn't want to 'steal' anyone's recipe :/
