Comfort food.


Tonight I've just finished making dinner. Well, actually it's finishing itself. I'm making two family favorites, Curry and Paprikash. I always fixed them at the same time, my way of killing two birds with one stone. The ingredients and preparations are very similar and they are both great as leftovers. I took Chuck Steak and cubed it, and divided it in half. One half is dredged in Curry Powder, the other in Paprika. I saute each half in oil in separate pans. When it's browned I add chopped onions to each. The Curry is simmered in chicken broth, the paprikash in beef broth (I use water and bouillon cubes). When the meat is almost tender I add diced potatoes to the Curry. The Curry is served over steamed rice. The Paprikash is finished with sour cream and served over potato pancakes (it's also good with spatzle, wide egg noodles, or German Potato Dumplings ).

It's supposed to get down into the 40's tonight, so this will be a nice way to warm up from the inside out.
What are you fixing tonight?
