Recipe: curried lamb
Here's one of my favorite easy recipes -- requested by our friend @Naz for her Cooking Club:
Curried lamb, a complete meal
(Good for one adult and a few kids. So far, all kids tested LOVE it. Might depend on not putting in tons of curry?)
-- About 1 lb of ground lamb
-- curry powder
-- cooking oil any kind
-- salt, pepper
-- Jar of plain spaghetti sauce (I use a sugarless marinara from Barilla or Classico -- nothing fancy with cheese or meat or olives or anything)
-- bag of frozen spinach or peas
(Make a pot of rice to serve separately)
(Mango chutney if you like it. It's SUGAR right?)
1. Heat up a small amount of oil.
2. Brown the meat.
3. Drain off excess oil if you like (Spoon it into a can or soak up with paper towels. Fat should go in the trash, not down the sink!)
4. Add curry powder, salt and pepper.
5. When it's well blended, add the spaghetti sauce and put a lid on it. Turn the heat down.
6. A few minutes later toss in the spinach or peas.
It's ready once the vegetables are cooked through, or let it sit for a bit if your kids are stalling.
Serve with rice and chutney.

Sounds great. here's something simpler for lamb lovers (also works with pork chops) -- take lambchops or a cut up rack of lamb. Swipe some horseradish mustard on both sides. Put on broiler pan. Broil for 3 or 4 minutes. turn. broil for another couple of minutes or longer depending if you like your lamb pink. (I like mine well done, so usually broil 4 minutes per side). If you want veggies, take any fresh vegetable(s) and cut into pieces that will fit in the broiler pan withyour lamb. put some margerine or butter on the veggies and throw some spices like thyme, rosemary, mrs dash, whatever you might like on the veggies. Potatoes and carrot coins take longer to cook than mushroom and peas in the pod. So you have to gauge the broiler time for the veggies based on how small you cut them and how hard they are naturally.

Curry Powder? Which one? Is this Thai? Indian? Maylasian? Singaporean? Uh-oh I am causing trouble. In India curry isn't really a description :-) Each dish has a masala, a combination of spices - usually sweet and savoury and often added in steps. Thai curry, OK now this I know well, easy to make from fresh ingredients such as chiles, garlic, lemongrass, and chiles plus fish sauce, sometimes kapi (shrimp paste) and so on.
Please don't jump to conclusionshina, India and Thailand over 30 times each-Thailand usually on holiday :-) and I even write a weekly newsletter on Thai cuisine.
One of our favourite passions was cooking together. His French stocks and sauces were to die for.

This really works? I cannot imagine mixing spaghetti sauce and curry - but I trust you... so... okay.
