Beef Curry
Things you learn when in Rome with 180 Boys:
1. Food tastes amazing (no matter what it is) when all of those boys are in bed.
2. You can see up to six sights in Rome and squeeze gelato into a 1hr 15 minute cab ride if that's all the time you've got.
3. A uniform consisting of only 4 shirts for 12 days of travel makes for interesting odour combinations.
4. Lines consisting of more than 6 people are impossible. IMPOSSIBLE.
5. Gelato does not universally taste good (see number 1).
6. People who think it's fun to get out their decibel meter App during dinner are annoying.
7. Sometimes yoga pants are necessary for survival.
8. Even if you are at the Vatican Tourist shop, boys will find the only toy car in the place and fight over it.
9. No matter what wonderful sights the boys get to see, their favourite will always be seeing the eagle killing a mouse at the side of the road.
10. It is possible to need some distance from your best friend 'penne' once in a while.
11. There are definitely moments when the only way to keep your sanity is to just start laughing. It prevents crying, or sometimes facilitates it but it's always better to be laugh/crying than just crying.
12. Sometimes, even though you ask everyday for boys to brush your teeth, they still don't tell you until Day 8 that they left their toothbrush at home.
13. It's all fun and games until someone loses a passport.
14. Even though they tell you it looks like cat food, if they're hungry enough boys will eat foie gras.
This is all of us. Boys Gr's 5 - 12 and Chaperones. Yikes. |
Beef Curry adapted from Naparima Girls High School Cookbook
serves 6 - 8
2 lbs beef (stewing beef or leftover roast), cubed
1 med. onion, sliced
2 cups carrots, thickly sliced
1 cup turnip, cubed (optional - opt for more potato if you don't have the turnip)
2 - 3 cups potato, cubed (about 3 med/lg potatoes)
3 - 4 cloves garlic, crushed
3 1/2 tbsp mixed herbs (parsley, chive, oregano, mint, thyme, marjoram - stay away from tarragon or dill)
2 1/2 tsp salt
5 tbsp west indian curry powder (or curry powder of your choice)
2 - 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
4 cups good quality beef stock
pepper sauce to taste
Use a large, heavy bottomed dutch oven and heat over medium heat.
Add about 3 - 4 tbsp of oil or grease to the dish.
Add in the onion, carrots, turnip and potato and let it cook in the oil for about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Add in the meat and the garlic and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl add the mixed herbs, salt, curry powder, worcestershire sauce and soy sauce together until it forms a paste (add a little water if needed)
Add the paste to the meat and veggies and mix well. Turn the heat down to med/low and add in the beef stock and the honey. Stir until well mixed. Cover and simmer for about an hour over low heat.
Check the tastes and adjust (i.e. add pepper sauce) if necessary.
