Boxing Day Curry

By Boxing Day everyone is a little bit fed up with traditional Christmas food so why not make this Caribbean-inspired curry with leftovers from the big day to liven up everyone’s tastebuds? It’s made with a simple curry blend which includes two flavours quintessential to Caribbean cooking, allspice and thyme, and is quite mild, so serve with a good amount of hot sauce on the side!

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Serves: 4

  • Heat rating: 2/5
  • Dietary: Contains gluten, celery, mustard and sesame

Ingredients

  • 500g shredded leftover turkey (or you could use whatever leftover meat/veg you had on the big day!)
  • 1 medium onion - finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic - finely chopped
  • 300g sweet potatoes, floury potatoes or carrots - peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tomatoes - roughly chopped
  • 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • Rice and hot sauce for 4 to serve

Spices

  • 1 PORTION OF BOXING DAY CURRY BLEND (1 portion/ 2 tbsp) - Spices including celery, mustard, sesame  *Allergens
  • PLEASE NOTE IF YOU'RE MAKING A BIGGER BATCH, YOU'LL NEED TO SCALE UP THE FRESH INGREDIENTS IN PROPORTION BUT THE SPICES ONLY BY 2/3 OR IT WILL BE TOO SPICY!

Method

  1. Fry the onion in 2 tbsp oil for 10 minutes or until soft and beginning to brown
  2. Add the garlic, tomatoes, sugar and BOXING DAY CURRY BLEND and cook for 5 minutes or until the tomatoes are beginning to break down (mashing them up a bit as they cook)
  3. Add the sweet potatoes, 400ml water and 1 tsp salt then cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the sweet potato is just tender
  4. Cook the rice now
  5. Add the turkey and cook for 10 minutes or until completely warmed through and the sauce is rich and thick
  6. Stir the juice of the lime into the curry and serve with the rice and hot sauce on the side
