Mutton shanks with
curry and potatoes and sweet potatoes
Ingredients:
- 1 kg mutton shanks
- 2 chopped onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1 tablespoon curry (or to taste)
- Fruit chutney to taste
- 8 large potatoes (peeled)
- 8 sweet potatoes (peeled)
- 100 ml cream
- salt and spices to taste
Directions:
- First steam the shanks until tender. Not too much water, because
it must cook rather dry. (Do not pour out the excess water, because
you will lose flavor)
- Steam the potatoes with the meat.
- Pour a table spoon of oil into the pot and add the chopped
onions. Stir onions lightly, then add the chutney, curry, salt,
spices and garlic.

Ingredients and method for sweet potatoes
- 8 sweet potatoes
- 200 - 250 ml syrup
With the sweet potatoes, you must add the syrup while it is
cooking. Do not use too much water in the beginning. The syrup makes the
sweet potatoes light brown and sweet. Butter can be added to make it
more tasty and sticky.
