Yes, I have made and eaten a dish out of a Monty Python sketch. For no other reason than boredom and having a book of the scripts to read during breaks today, I decided to make prawn curry tonight.
Argentinian white shrimp and tuna steaks were on specialat the market tonight, so I made tuna tartare and prawn curry for dinner . For the tartare, I shopped the tuna into a small dice, added chopped green onions, half a serrano chile, a little soy sauce, lime juice and salt. Then I formed it into a ring mold with a topper of sliced avocado.
For the curry, I caramelized a large minced onion with five cloves of garlic and a knob of ginger in ghee. When that was done, I removed the onion et al, briefly frizzled the shrimp, then dumped the shrimp, onion mixture, a teaspoon of hot curry powder and some berbere powder in, stirred, then put some coconot milk and stock I made from the shrimp shells in. Heated until done through and served over fresh basmati rice. All were very pleased with the results and now I have prawn curry for lunch tomorrow.
