Fennel Pork Curry

Fennel Pork Curry

"F" in our ingredients alphabet = Fennel

The Fennel sauce base with intended as a sauce for the Pork joint but it was a bit too pungent for our liking. But it made a good Curry base.

2 cloves of Garlic, minced
A thumb of Ginger, minced
Chilli Flakes
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Bizar Seasoning ( Ingredents here )
1 large Onion, sliced
2 tins of chopped Tomatoes
Tomato Puree
1 large Potato, cubed and par boiled
Cubed cooked Pork
1 bulb of Fennel chopped
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Add the bulb of Fennel and a tin of Tomatoes to a casserole dish with Salt & Pepper and roast the Pork over it.
(2) When cooled blend the Tomato and Fennel sauce in a food processor and set aside.
(3) Fry the Onion in Oil until translucent and add the Garlic, Ginger, fried Cumin seeds.
(4) Add the remaining tin of chopped Tomatoes and Tomato Puree and simmer for 20 minutes.
(5)Add the Chilli Flakes, Black Pepper, Garlic and Onion Salt and Bizar seasoning.
(6) Add the Tomato  and Fennel sauce, cubed Potatoes and Pork.

We had some home made special fried Rice in the freezer. A bit of an odd combination. But there’s nothing new there!

Roast Pumpkin Seeds

You can pay £2.95 for a small bag of roasted Pumpkin Seeds in a well known health food store if you wish. But why would you? When making a Pumpkin lantern with kids most folk seem to just scoop the seeds out and throw them away.

Not here!

Ingredients:-

The seeds from your Pumpkin
Oil to roast
Salt

Method:-

(1) Add a little oil to an over tray.
(2) Wash the pulp off the Pumpkin seeds and dry them with kitchen paper.
(3) Add the seeds to the oil and sprinkle with salt.
(4) Roast in the oven at 180C for 20 minutes or so stirring occasionally.
(5) Lay the roasted seeds on kitchen paper to absorb the oil and then store in a jar.

Good for sprinkling over dishes to add a bit of crunch and a mild nutty flavour.
