We loved this. It had a nice spiciness for the kids and me. Sanford thought I could have doubled the spice. Grind the following in a spice grinder: 2 tsp cumin seeds, 3 dried red chilis, 1 tsp black peppercorns, 1 tsp cardamon seeds, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 1/2 tsp black mustard seeds and 1 tsp fenugreek seeds. Mix ground spices with 5 tbsp white wine vinegar, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp brown sugar. Set aside. Now saute 1 thinly sliced onion in 10 tbsp oil until browned. Remove onions, leaving oil in pan. Puree onions with 2-3 tbsp water in food processor. Add to above spices and stir. Set aside. (This is the vindaloo paste) Brown 2 pounds cubed pork shoulder in batches. Put 1 inch cube of ginger, sliced and 1 small peeled head of garlic in the food processor with 2-3 tbsp water and puree to a paste. When the pork is removed after browning, put the ginger-garlic paste in the pan and cook on medium for a few seconds. Add 1 tbsp ground coriander and 1 /2 tsp turmeric and stir for another few seconds. Add the meat, any juices that have accumulated back into the pan. Add the vindaloo paste and 8 oz of water. Bring to boil. Cover, and reduce heat to a simmer until pork is tender. We let ours simmer for about 1 1/2 hours. From Madjur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking. |
