Cwik Curry

[calzephyr]

I made this tonight and posted it to what_a_crock earlier. Alas, hubs is still at work, so it'll be dinner tomorrow. Usually I measure out my recipes, but his is a real eyeballer for our 2.5 quart crockpot. It's more of a Japanese style curry as opposed to an Indian curry.

First I add potatoes. Just enough to cover the bottom, so about 3-4 average red potatoes or 20 creamer potatoes, quartered.

Then I add shaved baby carrots, just enough to cover the potatoes.

I slice an onion in half and coarsely chop it before adding it on top of the carrots.

I open the package of meat and add about 8 cubes of stewing beef or 2 chicken breasts. I freeze the leftover meat.

I use curry that comes in bricks. Usually these come in packages of 2 large bricks with four squares on them each. I place a brick in a measuring cup and boil about 2 cups of water in the kettle. I add the boiling water to the measuring cup and dissolve the brick.

When the curry has dissolved completely I pour it into the crock pot and scrape any undissolved goopy parts on to the meat.

I cover it and set it on low for about 8 hours. We usually have our curry on top of a little rice as well.
