Curried Shrimp Turnovers Food

CREAMY SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• For the Naan bread: Whisk the yeast and sugar into the water and allow to stand for a few minutes until foamy.
• Add 2½ cups flour and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
• Pour in the yeast mixture, yogurt and oil. Knead on low speed until the dough comes together. If the dough is very sticky add more flour.
• Allow to knead until the dough is soft and smooth. Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.
• Once risen, break off small handfuls of the dough and roll out on a floured surface.
• Heat a large skillet then add the dough. Cover with a lid and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until the dough is blistered. Carefully flip over and allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
• Remove from the pan and brush with melted butter.
• For the curry: Season the shrimp with salt and garam masala and toss well. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large, deep frying pan and brown the shrimp on both sides. Remove and set aside.
• To make the sauce, melt the butter in the pan then add the onions. Cook until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and cook for another 30 seconds.
• Add the stock, sugar, cream and lemon juice. Bring the sauce to a simmer then allow to cook for 7-10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced slightly. I prefer the sauce to be a little looser in consistency but you can thicken the sauce with cornstarch/corn flour if you prefer a thicker sauce.
• Once the sauce is the consistency you like, add the shrimp back in to the sauce and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Serve the curry with rice and naan bread.

QUINCE TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to brown. Add the quince and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and nicely browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar and 1/4 cup water, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is syrupy and the quince is tender, 4 to 5 minutes more. Stir in the salt. Transfer the mixture to a metal bowl and refrigerate to cool, about 10 minutes.
• Fill a small bowl with water. Dice the remaining 4 tablespoons cold butter into bits and fold it into the fruit. Dust a cutting board with flour and roll out the puff pastry to a 12-inch square. Cut into 4 6-inch squares.
• Brush the edges of one of the pastry squares with water. Spoon 1/2 cup of the filling into the center of the square and spread it out a bit towards 2 opposite corners. Fold the dough diagonally over the filling to make a triangle and seal by pressing the edges with a fork. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and filling. Arrange the turnovers 2-inches apart. Make 2 or 3 vents in the top of each turnover with a sharp knife, using the tip to open the vents to expose the fruit (this will prevent the vents from closing in the oven). If your kitchen is very hot, pop each turnover in the freezer while you work and cut vents them when they are chilled. You can fill and freeze the turnovers for up to 5 days before baking; add an additional 5 minutes to the baking time.
• Bake the turnovers until deep golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes, rotating the pan after 10 minutes. Place the pan on a rack and let the turnovers cool for 5 minutes before serving. The turnovers can also be served at room temperature.

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, curry powder, garlic and ginger over the onions, reduce heat to low, and cook gently 5 minutes until onions are softened and translucent. Add red pepper and chayote and cook 5 minutes. Add about 2/3 of the coconut milk and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes to bring flavors together. Add shrimp back to skillet along with scallions, cilantro leaves and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning adding more pepper if necessary, adding more coconut milk if desired for a soupier consistency. Serve over rice.

In a mortar, pound the garlic and chilies to a coarse paste (or use a mini food processor or chop to a paste with a knife). Add the sugar and salt and pound or chop to a finer paste. Stir in the coriander, curry and oil.
• Gently pull open the shell of each shrimp and, dividing the coriander paste evenly, push some of it down the back of the shrimp where the vein was and under the shell a bit. Close up the shell around the shrimp. Marinate at room temperature at least 2 hours or, covered, in the refrigerator up to 4 hours.
