So, some of you may not care about the work I’m doing or crazy adventures I’m having. BUT I’m sure you’re all super excited to hear what I’ve been eating! I’ve been cooking a lot, from curries to marinara sauce to fajitas. Yesterday I made something particularly tasty, however: Pineapple Curry.
Ingredients:
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 piece ginger (minced)
oil
salt
pepper
curry powder
cinnamon
cayenne pepper/chili powder
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
3 bananas (sliced)
3 carrots
2 medium onions (sliced, diced, whatever)
1 pound sliced pork
1 medium pineapple (cubed)
coconut milk
rice
Step 1
Put the oil, garlic, ginger, onions, black pepper, curry powder, and salt in a large pot and simmer for a few minutes, allowing the spices to mellow and the onions and garlic to cook.
Step 2
Add in the pork and red and green peppers. Cook in the oil until the pork is browned on the outside.
Step 3
Add in pineapple, carrots, bananas and some water, but not enough to entirely cover all the ingredients; they’ll cook down quite a bit. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer. Once it boils check it out to see if the seasoning is ok. This is where I added a bit of cinnamon, some more curry, and some more salt and black pepper to even out the taste. As it cooks down it’ll get sweeter, so continue to monitor it.
Step 4
Once it has cooked down, the pineapple should be fairly mushy and the bananas should have pretty much dissolved. It should have a nice sweet flavor. This is the point where I turned off the burner and mellowed out the curry a bit by stirring in some coconut milk. Serve over white rice.
Step 5
Enjoy!
