Lamb Curry with Carrots and Potatoes
4-5 medium carrots (or 1 small winter squash), cut into bite sized coins
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 lb. potatoes (any variety), cut into bite sized cubes
1 - 2 lbs. lamb stew meat or shoulder, cut into bite sized cubes. You could also use another type of meat or fish, of your preference
olive oil for sauteeing
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Indian curry paste
Saute the onions in a hot saute pan or cast iron skillet until starting to soften. Add in the lamb and brown for two or so minutes on all sides. Add the curry paste to the pan and approximately 1/2 cup water (for a thicker curry, add less water). Add in the potatoes and carrots, and cook at a lively simmer until all ingredients are cooked through. You may need to add a bit more water as you go if it is evaporating too quickly. Once the vegetables are cooked, add in your salt and pepper, and more curry paste if you would like. Serve over rice.
