Tonight for supper I made a dish I grew up with, in Africa; it's an
ideal introduction to mildly curried dishes, and a wonderful opportunity to get lots and lots of polyphenols into a meal. For 4 people, served with a green salad, the ingredients a 600g steak mince (aka ground beef) lge yellow onion 2 cloves garlic 2T dried unsweetened cranberries 2T sultanas 1 green apple, chopped 2t curry powder 1t cinnamon 1t turmeric oil for frying 2 eggs splash milk - maybe 25 ml Gently fry onion until slightly coloured. Add garlic and fry for a minute, until the aroma is released. Add meat and spices, brown. Add fruit. Check seasoning. Let mixture cool a little. Heat the oven to 160deg C. Beat eggs and milk together. Pour meat mixture into a casserole dish, and press down flat. Pour over egg mixture, and bake for 30 mins. I ate a good portion of this tonight, with a nice green salad with vinaigrette, and a glass of red wine. I had a square of 85% choc for dessert, and was 5.9 (106) at 1 hour. I hope it works as well for you! Nicky. T2 DX 05/2004 A1c 5.5% BMI 25 D&E 100ug Thyroxine |

That looks just great. For those on the western side of the pond,
sultanas are the same as golden raisins. I suspect that if I can'r find the cranberries, raisins would work, too. We LOVE curry, and hubby gets his over spaghetti squash.

[snip] OK, that one's a keeper! Now, how much is 600g in pounds or ounces? Priscilla, who used a package of ground beef in pasta sauce last night, darn it! |

Dried cranberries are called craisins in Australia, for any Oz readers. I have only ever put sultanas and apple in my sweet curries. But cranberries are nice. |

Apologies for non-translation : ) Pre-dx, I used to stretch the meat a little with a slice of bread soaked in milk. Milk and meat often go together in South African cookery, which strikes me as odd now because we knew several Jewish people out there who kept kosher - I wonder what they subbed? It always tasted good... Anyway, back to the point - if one package of ground beef wouldn't feed the crowd you're cooking for, it can be stretched by adding sauteed chopped veggies - carrot and celery would go well, as would eggplant or mushroom. The mixture might be a bit dry at the end of the frying pan stage, but that's OK - the egg mix will bind it all together. Incidentally, the original fruit mixture would be sultanas and dried apricots, which are of wonderful quality in South Africa. I happened to be out of apricots, but subbing the cranberries should increase the polyphenol level, and the apple acts to recycle the vit C so you use it much more effectively. I think it still works that way when you cook the apple! Nicky. T2 DX 05/2004 A1c 5.5% BMI 25 D&E 100ug Thyroxine |

Now, how much is 600g in pounds or ounces? Priscilla, 1000grams = 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds So 600grams = .6 x 2.2 = 1.32 pounds ~ 1 pound 5 oz Gerry |
