Pork Or Lamb Vindaloo Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, mince garlic and ginger. Add vinegar, turmeric, cumin, chili powders and salt and blend well. Transfer to a large bowl, add pork and turn to coat well. Cover and set aside at room temperature for one hour.
• Place tamarind in a bowl with one cup hot water. When cool enough to handle, crush tamarind with fingers to extract pulp clinging to fibers. Add another cup of hot water and mix well. Strain into a clean bowl, discarding fibrous residue.
• In a large sauté pan, combine oil, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and mustard seeds. Fry over medium-high heat until sizzling and aromatic, about 4 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add pork and cook, turning until lightly browned, about 6 minutes.
• Add tamarind juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until pork is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add bell pepper and cook 7 minutes. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Grind onion, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, and cloves with just enough vinegar to keep the mixture moving in a blender or food processor until you have a thick paste.
• Mix remaining vinegar and water together in a large bowl. Add pork cubes to the bowl and thoroughly rinse the meat with the vinegar mixture; drain. Pat pork dry with paper towel.
• Mix the paste and pork cubes together in a clean bowl, assuring the pork cubes are coated in paste. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Marinate in refrigerator 8 hours to overnight.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry curry leaves in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add marinated pork, tomatoes, and turmeric; cook and stir until the tomatoes are completely softened, about 10 minutes.
• Season the pork mixture with salt. Pour enough pork stock over the mixture to assure everything is at least half-submerged. Bring the stock to a simmer, place a cover on the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the pork is completely tender, 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove lid from skillet and continue to simmer the mixture until the sauce is very thick, about 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Combine the mustard, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, salt, and vinegar in a cup. Mix well.
• Put the oil in a large, nonstick frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, put in the onion. Stir and fry until it is medium brown. Put in the garlic. Stir and fry for 30 seconds. Put in the spice paste. Stir and fry for a minute. Put in the meat. Stir and fry for about 3 minutes. Then add the coconut milk and 2/3 cup water if you are cooking continuously in a pressure cooker, or 1 cup water if you are to cook in the frying pan. (Transfer to a pressure cooker at this stage if that is your intention.) Cover and either bring up to pressure, or bring to a boil if you are using the frying pan. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes in the pressure cooker and 60 to 70 minutes in the frying pan.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add lamb, potatoes, onion, cinnamon stick, ginger, garam masala, garlic, jalapeno pepper, coriander, turmeric, salt, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 20 minutes.
• Add tomatoes to the skillet with the lamb mixture and stir well. Cover and simmer over low heat until lamb is tender, 30 to 40 minutes more.
• Garnish with cilantro before serving.

Steps:

• Add the onion, ginger, and garlic to the container of a food processor; process until finely chopped.
• Add in the vinegar, coriander, cumin, turmeric, salt, and cayenne pepper; process until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
• Scrape the paste out into a 4-quart slow cooker crock insert.
• Add in the lamb pieces; toss to coat.
• Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Put the crock insert into slow cooker; add in water and stir.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or until the lamb is tender.
• Transfer the lamb and cooking juices to a big saucepan.
• Cook on the stove over medium-high heat for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently (cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the lamb is sizzling).
• Change the heat setting to low and continue cooking and stirring frequently, for about 5 more minutes or until the spice coating turns light brown.
• Serve right away.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except oil, onion and meat. Leave standing while you cook the onions.
• Heat oil in medium to large pot and add onions. Stir until onions are soft.
• Add vindaloo mix to pot and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add meat and mix so that it is covered with the vindaloo mix. Add 1/2 C water.
• Simmer, covered, over low heat for about 1 1/4 hours or until meat is tender.
