Goan Old Fashioned Vindaloo
byÌýTom Parker Bowles from Let's Eat Meat: Recipes for prime cuts, cheap bits and glorious scraps of meat (Pavilion Books)
Ìý
There’s nothing wrong with the post-pub vindaloo, the chilli-powder-laced bruiser that brawls its way through the digestive system with little regard for civilised calm.Ìý It does have its own crude, rough-hewn charms.Ìý The real thing though, is rather different, a handsome, worldly charmer, with Portuguese roots, & lashings of pork, vinegar & chilli.Ìý There’s a more complex recipe in my previous book, Let’s Eat, but this version manages to contain the soul of vindaloo, without quite as much of the hassle – as long as you remember to marinate the meat a day ahead.
Serves 4
Ìý
Prep time: 30 mins
Cooking time: 2½ hrs
Ìý
Ingredients
800g/1lb 12oz leg of pork, trimmed of excess fat & cut into 4cm/1½ in chunks
3-4 tbsp vegetable oil
1½ tbsp black peppercorns, roughly crushed
½ cinnamon stick
4-8 long green finger chillies, halved
3 onions, finely chopped
1 tsp Demerara sugar (or jaggery if you can get it)
1 tsp sea salt flakes, or to taste
handful of fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped
boiled basmati rice, to serve
Ìý
Spice Paste
10-15 dried Kashmiri chillies (or long red Indian chillies), soaked in just-boiled water for 20 mins, drained
6 garlic cloves, peeled
2.5cm / 1in piece of fresh ginger, peeled
1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted until fragrant, then ground in a mortar & pestle
7-8 tbsp malt vinegar (or coconut vinegar)
Ìý
Method
To make the spice paste, in a small blender, blitz the drained chillies with the garlic, ginger, cumin & 6 tbsp of the vinegar.Ìý Mix the paste thoroughly with the pork, cover & marinate in the fridge overnight.
The next day, heat 3 tbsp oil in a large pan & add the peppercorns, cinnamon & fresh chillies & cook gently for a couple of mins.Ìý
Turn up the heat, add the pork & cook until it has a good brown crust all over, adding a little extra oil if necessary. Remove the meat & transfer it to a plate.Ìý
Add the onions & cook over a medium-low heat for about 15 mins, until soft & golden.
Return the pork to the pan, add the sugar & about 250ml/9fl oz water, plus a splash of vinegar.Ìý Bring to a low simmer, cover & cook for 1hr.Ìý
Add about 200ml/7fl oz water to prevent sticking.Ìý Remove the lid & cook for a further 1½ hours, adding more water if necessary, until the meat falls apart.Ìý
Stir in an extra tbsp of vinegar & salt to taste, sprinkle with coriander & serve with basmati rice.
