VADOUVAN INDIAN SPICE BLEND - GOURMET
Entered for safe-keeping, found in September 2008 Gourmet. Vadouvan is ready-to-use blend of spices that is a derivative of Indian curry blend with a French influence. A variant of a masala with added spices such as shallots and garlic, Vadouvan is usually used in gourmet cooking. The spice is thought to have originated due to French colonial influence in the Pondicherry region of India. Recipe by Paul Grimes, starting with a formula by chef Inaki Aizpitarte, of Le Chateaubriand, and roasting it for an exotic meatiness. Make one big batch and keep it in the freezer for up to 6 months (1 month in refrigerator). (Some people use a Magic Bullet just for grinding Indian spices.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F (176C) with rack in middle position.
- In a food processor, pulse onions in 3 batches until very coarsely chopped (okay if a few large pieces remain), transferring to a bowl.
- Repeat with shallots, then garlic.
- In a deep 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over high heat, heat oil until it shimmers. Sautee onions, shallots and garlick (stir often) until golden and browned in spots, 25-30 minutes.
- In an electric coffee/spice grinder, or with mortar and pestle, grind fenugreek seeds.
- Add ground fenugreek to onion mixture and add remaining ingredients. Stir until combined.
- Transfer to a parchment-paper-lined large 4-sided sheet pan and spread as thinly and evenly as possible. Bake, stirring occasionally with a skewer to separate onions, until well browned and barely moist, 1 to 1-1/4 hours.
- Store in tightly sealed container in refrigerator for up to 1 month or in freezer up to 6 months. If you feel generous, share with your friends.

LAMB LOIN WITH INDIAN SPICE BLEND AND ROASTED VEGETABLE STEW WITH FRIZZLED BRUSSELS
Steps:
- Preheat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek and mustard seeds to a spice grinder and pulse to a powder; transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the salt. Reserve a pinch for the vegetable stew.
- Toss the lamb with the remaining spice mixture to coat, then thread onto skewers. Coat the pan with olive oil. Sear the skewers on all sides until the lamb is cooked to the desired doneness. Remove from the heat and serve with Roasted Vegetable Stew and Frizzled Brussels.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the eggplant to a large bowl and coat with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and crushed red pepper to taste. Place the eggplant on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Put the cauliflower in the bowl and coat with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and crushed red pepper to taste. Place the cauliflower next to the eggplant on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast until the vegetables begin to brown, rotating once, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add olive oil to coat the bottom of a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and fennel and cook until translucent. Add the tomatoes and chickpeas and stir gently to combine. Add the vegetable stock, curry leaves, asafetida, nigella seeds and Indian spice blend. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Season with salt to taste. Add all of the roasted vegetables to the pot and cook until the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. If the stew gets dry, add vegetable stock as needed.
- Preheat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Toss the Brussels-sprout leaves in oil to coat and sprinkle with salt to taste. When the pan is hot, add the leaves and cook until beginning to brown and shrivel slightly. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with nigella seeds.
