SLOW-COOKER PORK CURRY

Steps:

• Toss the pork with the curry powder, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, the lime zest and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl; set aside. Put the potatoes in a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker and top with the cilantro stems and half of the red onion slices.
• Whisk the coconut milk with 1/4 cup water and the curry paste in a small bowl. Pour into the slow cooker. Add the pork and nestle into the vegetables and sauce. Cover and cook on low, 7 hours.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board; let rest. Stir the green beans into the slow cooker and let stand, uncovered, 10 minutes. Toss the remaining red onion with the lime juice in a small bowl and let stand 10 minutes. Stir the remaining 1 teaspoon brown sugar into the curry sauce and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the green beans, potatoes and sauce among bowls. Slice the pork and add to the bowls. Top each serving with the onion and any remaining lime juice in the bowl, the bean sprouts and cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges.

SLOW COOKER COCONUT PORK CURRY

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Add half of the pork to the skillet and brown it over moderately high heat, about 12 minutes. Transfer the pork to the slow cooker. Repeat with the remaining pork.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat in the skillet. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, curry, cumin and turmeric and cook over low heat, stirring, until fragrant and the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Scrape the mixture into the slow cooker. Add the tomatoes and their juices, coconut milk and stock, cover and cook on high for 4 hours. Spoon off as much fat from the surface of the stew as possible. Serve the stew over rice in deep bowls, garnished with cilantro and scallions.

SLOW ROASTED PORK WITH COCONUT CURRY SAUCE, CORN TORTILLAS, FRESH TOMATO SALSA OVER BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• For the pork: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the spices into the pork and roast for about 8 hours. Let cool. Pull apart and discard any fat. Put the pork pieces in a large pot and add the coconut milk.
• Meanwhile, for the curry sauce: Saute the curry paste, ginger, garlic, and black beans in sesame oil until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add this mixture to the pot with the pork and coconut milk. Add the lime leaves. Braise on low heat for 1 to 2 hours.
• For the rice: Blend the cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and 1 cup of water. Put this mixture in a pot on the stove. Add the basmati rice. Add 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, and then simmer, covered, until the rice absorbs the liquid, 20 to 25 minutes. When done, add the butter and salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the salsa: Roast the jalapeno and poblano peppers, peel, and remove the seeds. Toast the cumin seeds and then grind. Dice the tomatoes and red onion and mix together in a bowl with the other salsa ingredients.
• Heat the corn tortillas on a griddle. Plate the rice, put the pork with sauce on top, and finish with salsa and tortillas.
