This Turmeric Coconut Curry with Pork is one of my favorite homemade curries and with the added touch of steamed rice, lime wedges, Greek yogurt, toasted coconut flakes and sprinkles of cilantro leaves to give this romantic dinner for two the extra finesse. Using ground pork, turkey or chicken and your own level of spiciness, this dish can be mixed and matched to suit your preferences.
To make Turmeric Coconut Curry with Pork, you will need the following ingredients:
In a medium bowl, toss ¼ head of shredded cabbage with a pinch of salt and massage with your hands for about 1 minute until softened a bit.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add 8 ounces of ground pork and cook for about 2 minutes then use a spatula to crumble the meat while tossing and cooking for another 2 minutes until browned but slightly pink in spots.
Add 1 thinly sliced onion and season with salt, to taste. Cook, tossing occasionally for about 3 minutes until translucent.
Lower the heat to medium and add 1 1-inch piece of grated ginger, ½ a thinly sliced Serrano chili, 4 cloves of thinly sliced garlic and 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, cook, stirring continuously, for about 4-5 minutes until vegetables are cooked. Lower the heat if necessary.
Add a 5.5 ounce can of coconut milk and about ¼ cup of water. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring a few times, for about 5 minutes until sauce has reduced and slightly thickened. Season with salt to taste.
Divide rice and prepared cabbage between 2 serving plates and pour the curry over the rice. Garnish with a lemon wedge, a dollop of yogurt and a few sprinkles of coconut flakes and cilantro leaves.
