This is an Indian style oil-based pickle that is fantastic on the side of a vegetable curry, and really really good with cheese on bread.…
This all started with an item in the Sunday papers about how women really should do weights training. I looked at the weights, but that idea lasted all of about two seconds.
Chillies and lemons are both glut crops – if you have any, you have too many! For this recipe though, the challenge is that you only have too many of both at the very end of the chilli season and the very beginning of the lemon season. It’s a moment to pounce on.
Pears are in season, and Bartlett pears (perfect for cooking) are starting to appear at our local Farmers Market. Where I live, we don’t get enough chill factor for pears, but luckily, within our 100 mile limit (as the crow flies) there is good pear growing district up on the Tablelands.
I had to do this recipe. I like the rhyme just too much! Vindaloo is a hot curry though, whichever way you look at it.
