This mildly spiced dish gets a touch of sweetness from the plantains and sweet potatoes. Use green plantains because they are firm and will not fall apart during cooking. Serve over basmati rice.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 lb stewing beef cubes
- 2 onions, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp curry paste
- 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) tomatoes
- 1 can (400 mL) light coconut milk
- 2 plantains, peeled and sliced, (1 lb/500 g total)
- 2 peeled sweet potatoes, cut in chunks (1-1/2 lb/750 g total)
- 1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped
Preparation
In shallow Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat; brown beef, in batches. Transfer to plate. Drain off fat in pan.
Add remaining oil to pan; fry onions, garlic, salt and pepper over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add curry paste; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and bring to boil, breaking up tomatoes with spoon and scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan. Reduce heat to medium; add coconut milk.
Return beef and any accumulated juices to pan; cover and simmer until meat is tender, 1-1/2 hours. Add plantains and sweet potatoes; simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and potatoes and plantains are tender, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with coriander.
