Goan Prawn Curry

No recipes this time but I did take some photos.  I served the curry with some Korean Green Onion Pancakes.

 Eclectic dinner?

Absolutely and it was delicious.

What do you do when you have some green prawns, some beef sausages to use up and you feel like an Indian inspired dish?

Create your own of course.

This is my version of...

My not so Traditional Beef Sausage & Prawn Curry

• 550 grams of Beef & Mustard Sausages
• 500 grams or so of green prawns
• a bunch of asparagus
• a handful of snow peas
• an onion, preferably a big onion
• a clove or two of garlic
• a teaspoon or so of ginger
• a tin of coconut milk
• a splash of fish sauce
• a large helping of Herbies 'Medium Curry Powder' (actually only about a tablespoon)
• a tablespoon also of Herbies Panch Phora
•  served with basmati rice flavoured with Herbies Brazilian Spice Mix and Pataks Pappadums.

1. Cook the sausage and then remove and slice.
2. Cut the onion and cook until soft.
3. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and cook for a few minutes.
4. Then add the asparagus and snow peas.
5. Once slightly cooked then add sliced sausage and then coconut milk and simmer untul cooked. I added fish sauce about now to season.
6. 5 - 10 minutes before serving add the green prawns and allow them to turn pink.
7. Serve with cooked basmati rice and pappadums.

Of course there aren't any photos again.

Hot Tossed Salad 

Have a look at what’s in the fridge.

Then if you have some  grab 

• one bunch of asparagus, 
• one yellow capsicum (red or green are both okay if the yellow ones are unavailable or too expensive),  
• some mushrooms and 
• one or two zucchinis.

1. Chop the lot into bite sized pieces and toss into a fry-pan with olive oil and a dab of butter.  (Butter makes everything taste so much better.)
2. Stir around until cooked but not  mushy.  It’s almost like a stir fry.
3. Season with a bit of cracked pepper (I’m trying to avoid the salt) and then serve.  I would add some fresh herbs about now but I keep forgetting.
4. The capsicum cooking with the mushrooms and the asparagus seems to give the dish a really nice favour.

Variations:

Add or swap green beans, snow peas, leeks, those food items that cook around the same time as asparagus and mushrooms.

Enjoy.
