Lamb curry with rice
I'm still gettin used to food photography. What I'm struggling with, as exemplified in this picutre, is flare from white stuff (the plate or the food) when there's too much light. I don't have an SLR so I can't control the aperture.
But it tasted good!
Ingredients:
2 lean lamb cutlets
1/4 yellow pepper
1/5 cucumber
1/3 onion
1 clove garlic (I would have used more but I couldn't be bothered
splash olive oil
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric
2 medium tomatoes
squirt of tomato puree (I was too lazy to buy a tin of toms)
pinch of salt
1 1/2 handfuls rice
fresh flat-leafed parsley to garnish
I coated the lamb cutlets in the curry powder/turmeric as I was heating the oil. I browned them, then added roughly chopped onion, sliced garlic, chunks of pepper, cucumber, and finally the tomatoes. I sauted the lot for a while, then added about a cup of water, a squirt of tomato puree, and a pinch of salt. I put the rice to boil/simmer as the curry simmered.
It was nice, but rather mild. Next time I shall marinate the meat with the curry powder, and use a fresh chilli or two. What I *really* liked was how colourful it was.
