  1. Good flavor. I used a mango ginger chutney and red wine vinegar. I added lots of minced garlic to the onions becuase my family loves garlic. I used diced tomatoes instead of stewed and some tumeric instead of pepper. With 88% lean beef, half the butter was plenty. Since I had extra time for the first part, I used more beef stock and added the tomato sauce to the meat and let it simmer longer before I started on the second saucepan (omitting the tomato sauce). And just for fun I added a dash of garam marsala. I wonder what it would be like with balsamic vinegar.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
