“Vinegar is a preservative & therefore the vindaloo may be
kept in the refrigerator for several days before using.
In fact,
the flavour are intensified if the vindaloo is eaten one or two
days before cooking, warm slightly.
…
The vindaloo requires that
a substantial amount of oil be used in the preparation.
For our
purpose & without compromising the flavor, I have suggested
that the excess oil be poured off before dining.
Toasting &
grinding the whole spice seeds is the old-time method & very
effective in deriving the most flavor.
However, I have also lightly
toasted ground spices, which is an improvement over using them
directly from the container.
The recipe is one prepared by the
Bhatia Christians of Calcutta, a group of Anglo-Indians who have
intermarried with Bengali Indians.” Lightly toast the coriander,
poppy, mustard seeds, & cumin seeds in a dry skillet for 2 or 3
minutes until the aroma is released.
Grind the seeds in a processor
to a fine powder.
Set aside.
Heat the oil in a pan & add all
the toasted dry spices, the chili flakes ginger and garlic.
Stir
fry over moderately low heat for 2 min.
Add the meat & stir
continuously for 10 minutes as the meat browns.
Add the water,
cover the pan & cook until the meats are tender, about 1 hour.
When the meats have been fully tenderized, add the vinegar &
continue to cook until the vinegar evaporates & the oil has
risen.
This is an indication that the vindaloo is ready.
At this
stage, all the oil may be poured off before serving.
Serve warm
with plain white rice & masoor dal.

Whisk together the oil, apple cider vinegar, apple juice, salt and
pepper to taste in a small bowl set aside.

Slice the apples cross-wise into 4 thick apple rings.
Brown the
apple rings in a skillet with the butter over medium high heat
until soft and browned nicely.

Divide the goat cheese (Chvre) into 4 equal portion and shape into
round discs about the same size as the apple rings.

Coat each disc of goat cheese with the fresh thyme and sprinkle
with pepper.

Place the goat cheese disc on top of the apple rings.
Broil for
about 3 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Toss the lettuce with half of the vinaigrette and divide among 4
plates.
Top the lettuce with the warm goat cheese and apple
rings.

Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the top.
Serve.

The flavor combination is amazing.
The earthy and nutty flavour of
hemp seed oil combines beautifully with the tartness of the goat
cheese and apples.

If you can’t find hemp seed oil you may substitue any other
strongly flavoured oil such as a high quality olive oil.

The only difference besides the whole wheat flour, is that this
recipe has no sugar at all…wonder why!? My Panasonic machine has
a setting for making Whole Wheat Bread and this recipe is for
making the Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread that I tried yesterday.
