Pineapple Curry

This is another excellent "student food" recipe from Mathieu. It's quick, easy, and excellent.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 can pineapple, cubed or tidbits
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • some bell pepper, if you have some handy
  • 3/4 cup cream
  • a tiny bit of ketchup or tomato paste
  • soy sauce
  • curry powder
  • garlic powder
  • ginger
  • salt and pepper
  • Some kind of meat, if you want it. Chicken is good, but even hot dogs will work.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the chopped onion and bell pepper. After cooking for about five minutes, add the pineapple (save the juice) and cook for another ten minutes or until the onion is tender. Add the cream and the pineapple juice. Stir some flour into a cup with some heated juice and add that to thicken the sauce. Add the herbs and spices. Lots of curry powder, not lots of garlic powder. Add some cayenne pepper for an extra kick. Then add the meat and heat thoroughly. Serve over rice.

This makes probably three servings for normal people, two for hungry people with no other side dishes.
