CINNAMON CURRY RICE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring the cinnamon and water to a boil. Simmer, partly covered, until the liquid is reduced to 1 cup, about 30 minutes. Strain the cinnamon, and reserve the liquid.
• In a heavy casserole or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until hot, add the curry powder and the onion, and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the flour, and cook for another minute, stirring constantly. Add the chicken broth, heat until boiling, and add the carrot, apple and potatoes. Partly cover, and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
• Heat a wok or a saute pan, add the remaining oil, and heat until hot. Add the garlic and pork, and cook over high heat, stirring until pork changes color. Remove garlic and pork with a slotted spoon.
• When the vegetables are tender, add the pork and cinnamon liquid. Turn up the heat, and cook for 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper, and serve over hot rice.

CINNAMON CURRY RICE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix sauce ingredients together.
• Put the cinnamon sticks and the water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cook about 5 minutes over medium heat. Under cold running water, rinse the rice in a saucepan until the water runs clear. Drain and add the rice to the cinnamon water. Bring the water to a boil again, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Simmer covered for 17 minutes, or until craters appear in the surface of the rice and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and fluff the cooked grains with a fork. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes, then uncover and spread the rice out on a cookie sheet with a fork to cool completely. Discard the cinnamon sticks. (The rice should be cold or at least room temperature before stir-frying.)
• Heat a wok or large skillet. Add the oil and heat until hot. Add the leeks and garlic, and stir-fry over medium heat until slightly softened and translucent. Add the curry powder and stir-fry for 10 seconds, until fragrant. Add the carrots, turnips, rice wine, and water, and partially cover. Cook about 5 to 8 minutes, until tender, then add the cooked rice, breaking it up with a spatula. Add the peas and the sauce. Toss lightly to coat the ingredients and spoon into a serving dish. Serve hot.
