Pork Curry

I love all kinds of curry and for once, one without any coconut milk.

2 lbs. boneless pork, cut into 1" cubes
2 large onions, finely chopped
1 c. mango chutney
salt to taste
1 tsp. ground turmeric
3 tsp. fish sauce
grated rind of one lemon
6 cloves garlic, peeled, minced
1 2" pice of ginger, peeled & minced
2 tsp. cayenne
1/4 c. peanut oil or corn oil
1 c. water

In a large bowl, in 2 tbsp of oil, combine the pork with onions, chutney, salt, turmeric, fish sauce, lemon rind, garlic, ginger and cayenne. Marinate, covered for 1 hour at room temp.

In a skillet, heat the rest of the oil, pour in the pork with the marinade, stir fry for 7 mins. over medium heat.

Sprinkle with water from time to time to keep curry from getting too thick. Add the rest of the water, lower heat & cook, covered for 20 mins.

Beets with Orange

I just love beets, boiled or roasted. So here's a nice one that has a lovely citrus taste to it.

12 -14 small beets, do not peel
butter
1 tbsp grated orange peel
1 - 2 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp fresh tarragon (or 1 tsp. dried)
dash of fresh ground pepper

Cook beets in boiling, salted water for about 20 - 25 mins., or until they are barely tender. Let them cool slightly, cut off the stem and roots, and peel.

In pot, melt butter, add the orange peel and orange juice, stir. Add beets, stir. Add tarragon and pepper, mix well. Cook until beets are soft. Serve.
