Pork Vindaloo Walking Taco Pie Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the tomatoes, ginger, garlic, serranos, cumin and oil and process until smooth. Transfer the paste to a heavy-bottomed pot along with the chicken and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until aromatic, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the carrot, bell peppers, beans, bamboo shoots and cabbage. Cover the pot halfway and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate. Once it is cool enough to handle, tear it into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot.
• Add the noodles and lemon juice and simmer until the noodles are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt.
• Spoon the thukpa into bowls, garnish with scallions and bean sprouts and serve very hot.

Steps:

• Fill a large Dutch oven with water and bring to a boil. Add the spinach leaves, fenugreek leaves, mustard greens, grated garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, salt, green chiles and roughly chopped onion. Cover with the lid and boil until cooked, about 5 minutes. Strain the greens, keeping the water, then add the greens to a blender. Blend the greens to a coarse paste, adding a little water if required to move things along in the blender.
• Add the butter to a large Dutch oven and heat over medium-low heat until melted. Add the besan and cook on low heat until it starts turning brown and into a thick roux, about 3 minutes. Add the greens to this mixture and mix well. Cook for another 10 minutes.
• Heat the ghee in a medium saute pan over medium heat until hot and melted. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they start to sizzle, then add the remaining onion, chopped ginger and chopped garlic and saute until golden, about 3 minutes. Add half of the onion mixture to the greens pot. To the rest of the onion mixture, add the paneer triangles and saute until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Season with the dried fenugreek leaves.
• Add the greens mixture to a serving dish and top with the paneer.

Steps:

• Grind onion, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, and cloves with just enough vinegar to keep the mixture moving in a blender or food processor until you have a thick paste.
• Mix remaining vinegar and water together in a large bowl. Add pork cubes to the bowl and thoroughly rinse the meat with the vinegar mixture; drain. Pat pork dry with paper towel.
• Mix the paste and pork cubes together in a clean bowl, assuring the pork cubes are coated in paste. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Marinate in refrigerator 8 hours to overnight.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry curry leaves in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add marinated pork, tomatoes, and turmeric; cook and stir until the tomatoes are completely softened, about 10 minutes.
• Season the pork mixture with salt. Pour enough pork stock over the mixture to assure everything is at least half-submerged. Bring the stock to a simmer, place a cover on the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the pork is completely tender, 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove lid from skillet and continue to simmer the mixture until the sauce is very thick, about 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk tamarind with water. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add cumin, mustard and coriander seeds; toast, stirring, until they begin to pop; transfer to a coffee or spice grinder along with curry leaves, cinnamon and peppercorns. Process to a fine powder and add to tamarind. In a blender combine garlic, chilies to taste and ginger and process to a paste. Add 2 tablespoons of the mustard oil and spiced tamarind mixture; process until combined. In a large bowl place pork and pour blender contents over; toss to combine. Marinate covered 2 hours at room temperature or refrigerate overnight.
• In a large skillet heat remaining 1/2 cup mustard oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add turmeric, fenugreek, chili powder to taste, coriander and salt; cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds until spices are fragrant. Reduce heat to medium and add pork and marinade. Cook, turning pork often, 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar and water. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook, about 1 1/2 hours, or until pork is very tender. Serve with rice, garnished with browned onions and cilantro.

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, mince garlic and ginger. Add vinegar, turmeric, cumin, chili powders and salt and blend well. Transfer to a large bowl, add pork and turn to coat well. Cover and set aside at room temperature for one hour.
• Place tamarind in a bowl with one cup hot water. When cool enough to handle, crush tamarind with fingers to extract pulp clinging to fibers. Add another cup of hot water and mix well. Strain into a clean bowl, discarding fibrous residue.
• In a large sauté pan, combine oil, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and mustard seeds. Fry over medium-high heat until sizzling and aromatic, about 4 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add pork and cook, turning until lightly browned, about 6 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tortillas and cook, flipping a few times, until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove with tongs and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cayenne and cook 30 seconds. Add the pork and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, chiles and corn. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Arrange half of the tortillas in the bottom of a 9-to-10-inch pie plate. Top with half of the meat mixture, then half of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, meat and cheese. Cover loosely with foil and bake until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Add the coconut powder, butter, condensed milk and 8 teaspoons of the pistachio powder to a large nonstick skillet set over medium-low heat and stir until the mixture forms a ball, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.
• Put the remaining 1/4 cup pistachio powder on a small plate. Form the coconut mixture into quarter-size balls. Roll each ball in the pistachio powder to coat.

Steps:

• For the double crust leaf lard pastry: In a bowl, mix the flour and salt together with 2 knives. Cut in the lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the ice water over the mixture, a spoonful at a time, stirring with a fork and adding just enough water so it holds together. Shape into a ball, press into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
• For the pork filling: Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp; remove to a plate. Add the pork and a pinch of salt and brown for 2 minutes; remove to a plate. Add the potatoes, celery, celery leaves, parsley, savory, garlic and onions and sweat for 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze the skillet with 1 cup of water, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the pork and bacon back to the skillet with the cinnamon, cloves and a large pinch of salt, and simmer until the liquid has evaporated, 20 minutes.
• While the mixture is simmering, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly flour a work surface. Roll out the chilled pastry into two 13-inch rounds for a 10-inch double-crust pie, or into one 14-inch round for a single-crust pie. If using the double-crust method, line a 10-inch pie plate with one of the pastry rounds and fill with the meat mixture; cover with the remaining pastry. Trim and crimp the edges to seal, and cut small steam vents. Brush the top of the pastry with the egg yolk and milk mixture. If using the single-crust method, place the meat mixture in a 10-inch pie plate and cover with the single pastry round. Trim, press the edges into the sides of the pan and cut small steam vents in the center. Brush the top of the pastry with the egg yolk and milk mixture. Bake until the crust is golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes and serve warm.

Steps:

• Marinate the cauliflower: Combine the yogurt and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala, fenugreek, turmeric and garam masala and season with salt and pepper. Add the cauliflower and stir to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the raita: Combine the yogurt, cucumber, chaat masala, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Make the mango slaw: Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Grill the mango and bell pepper, turning occasionally, until softened and charred, 6 to 8 minutes for the mango and 8 to 12 minutes for the bell pepper. Remove from the grill and thinly slice into matchsticks.
• Combine the jalapeño paste, curry leaves, ginger, cilantro, lime juice, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the mango and bell pepper and toss to combine.
• Increase the grill heat to high. Place the cauliflower florets on the hot grill, cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, turning occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and well marked, 5 to 8 more minutes. Remove the cauliflower from the grill and sprinkle with lemon juice and chaat masala.
• Serve the cauliflower on the naan. Top with the raita and mango slaw. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the yogurt and melted butter with your hands or a wooden spoon until combined. If the dough is too dry, add water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together (you may need up to 1/2 cup water).
• Knead the dough in the bowl until it bounces back when you press it, about 2 minutes. Divide the dough into 4 balls and let rest, covered, 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Roll out each ball of dough until 1/8 inch thick. Generously oil the grill grates. Grill the naan until dry around the edges and charred, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.

Steps:

• Add the garlic, onions and jalapeño to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
• Mix the brown sugar, chili powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Coat the pork shoulder in the seasoning mix and add to the slow cooker. Pour the barbecue sauce around the pork and cover with the lid. Cook on high until the pork is fork-tender, about 6 hours.
• Once finished, shred the meat using 2 forks. Toss in the sauce from the slow cooker to coat and leave on warm.
• Serve by slicing the corn chip bags open lengthwise. Pile in some of the BBQ pork, drizzle with the ranch and sprinkle over the fried onions and green onions. Serve immediately.
