“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Lamb Vindaloo

 

Ingredients

2 lb lamb, cubed
2 tbsp coriander seed
1 tbsp cumin seed
2 lb tomatoes, crushed
14 garlic cloves, crushed
6 bay leaves
1 ginger (fresh), 2 inches, finely ch, opped
1/2 tsp black pepper, ground
1/2 tsp cardamon seed
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cayenne
2 tsp mustard seed, ground
1 tbsp turmeric
1 cup wine vinegar
2 medium onions
2 medium potatoes
2 tbsp butter



 

Preparation

Lightly roast the cumin seed and coriander seed by frying with no oil
for a minute or so, stirring constantly. Grind these and combine them
into a paste with the other spices, the garlic, ginger and the
vinegar. Add the lamb to the marinade and mix well. Refrigerate for
3-24 hours while mixing every few hours as convenient.

Finely chop the onions and potatoes and saute them for
5 minutes in the butter.

Add lamb and spice paste and simmer over low heat for half an hour.
The marinating does add a lot of flavor and makes the meat much more
tender. This can be skipped if need be.

NOTES:

* A spicy hot Indian lamb dish -- Very loosely based on Dharamjit
Singh's recipe in "Indian Cookery: A Practical Guide." Most
restaurants that serve this dish pronounce it vinDAloo, with the
stress on the second syllable.

: Difficulty: easy (though it's easy to burn the spices while
roasting them).
: Time: 1 hour preparation, 1 day marinating, 1 hour cooking.
: Precision: approximate measurement OK.
