Meat curry

Yesterday I made meat curry. I got the recipe from a ministry of foods leaflet from 1946. Who says rationed food had to be bland!! This was really tasty and I highly recommend trying it!

Meat curry

Ingredients:
1 onion
1 apple
300-500g diced lamb/beef
4 tbsp flour
1 1/2 tbsp curry powder
1/2 tbsp mustard powder
3/4 pint of stock
1 tbsp chutney or vinegar
1 tbsp marmalade
1 tbsp syrup or black treacle

Method:
Fry the onion and apple in a pan for a few minutes until the onion starts to brown. Then add the meat. Fry lightly then remove the meat and put to one side. Then add the flour, curry powder and mustard powder to the apple and onion and stir until everything is coated. Then gradually add the stock, stirring as you go. Then add the chutney or vinegar, the marmalade and syrup or treacle. Stir this all together. Add the meat back in. Let the mixture simmer for an hour or until the meat is tender and serve.

I served mine with a little rice as I had some, but the leaflet advises the use of macaroni, potatoes, or cauliflower in place of rice.
