It is a beef curry receipe. I think it might be nice in the slow cooker but i am new to cooking from scratch so I need some help from you guys!
This is the receipe:
400g red lentils, rinsed
2 carrots
½ a small swede, peeled and diced
1 medium potato, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp ground turmeric
Salt to taste
400g can chopped tomatoes
500g of lean beef cut into 2½ cm/1 in cubes
Fry Light
2½ cm/1 in ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp of turmeric
2 tbsp of madras curry powder
½ a tsp of chilli powder
2 tbsp of lemon juice
2 tsp of sweetener
Method.
- Place the lentils, carrots, swede, potato, onion, turmeric and salt in a large saucepan, and add enough water to cover it by an inch or so. Bring to the boil and simmer until tender.
- Add the canned tomatoes and cook for a further 10 minutes. Pass the lentil and vegetable mix through a sieve or use a blender and set aside.
- Boil the meat in a little water for about 45 minutes until tender (you can do this while the lentils and vegetables are simmering), and set aside.
- Spray a large saucepan with Fry Light and place over a medium heat, add the spices, and cook for 30 seconds, then add the ginger, garlic, lemon juice and sweetener and stir together. Add the blended lentil and vegetable mixture, and the cooked beef and simmer on a low heat for about 30 minutes. Serve with piles of boiled rice
If I want to do it in the slow cooker for about 7.30pm tonight, am I too late? How long do I need to cook it for?
Is there any chance somebody could tell me exactly what to do? As in, do I still need to do all of the above things? I am confused! But would love to prepare while DD is napping so it is done when she goes to bed tonight?
PLEASE help me!
