Penang Beef Curry

* 2 large brown onions, sliced
* 1 kg rump steak, diced
* 1/2 cup crushed peanuts (whole peanuts are really yummy too)
* 2 tablespoons good quality curry powder
* 1/2 cup condensed milk
* 1/2 cup coconut cream ( I used lite and the whole tin!!!)
* 2 tablespoons fish sauce
* 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
* 2 tablespoons brown sugar

1. Chuck it all in the slow cooker and give it a quick stir.
2. Cook for around 5 hours on low.
3. Serve with basmati rice and some steamed veg.

Had this at a friends and loved it and have now made it at home. So easy. Kids liked it! All good really.

mmm that's tasty!

Well the casserole was so delicious.

Everyone loved it and all bowls were empty with a minimum of fuss.

100% success rate!

Next time I'd probably chuck some mushrooms on as well (I didn't have any in the house!)

Squealy ate a huge bowl full, he is going off because we had to rewind the Old Tom video!

Ingredients
Chuck the following into a slow cooker:

2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp parsley
2 tsp Cajun seasoning (I used the Hot stuff!)
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 can diced tomatoes
2 or 3 tbs of tomato paste
1 cup of chicken stock (I used a heaped tsp of Massel brand)

Mix to combine.
Then add:

1kg of chicken (I used drumsticks)
1 finely diced onion
1 green capsicum, chopped

Stir and cook on low for 6 - 8 hours.
30 minutes prior to serving add:

500g cooked prawns
2 cups of cooked white rice.

Enjoy of course. Will BBL with the report from La Familia, not sure if the cayenne pepper will be a winner? Wait and see I guess.

The verdict? 90% happy. Fuzzy didn't eat it, but then he is going through a fussy period. Squealy and Stringy loved it. For me this recipe needed more tomato, so I'll add some tomato paste next time I make it.
