Thai curry with turtle meat

1. The first step is to prepare the broth. To do this, the turtle meat is washed under running water. Then cut into pieces. We put the meat in a saucepan.

2. Celery stalks are cleaned, cut across into a couple of parts. Peel the carrots, cut them coarsely. Peel the onion from the husk, cut into quarters.

3. The prepared vegetables are placed in a saucepan with meat. Fill the ingredients with water. We send the pan to the fire.

4. Cook until the meat is fully cooked, it should easily move away from the bone. This will take at least an hour and a half.

5. Then we extract the meat from the broth. Let it cool down. The broth is filtered. Boiled vegetables will no longer be needed.

6. The cooled meat is separated from the bones. We throw away the bones. The meat can be disassembled by hand into fibers or simply cut.

7. Peel the potatoes, wash them. Cut each potato in half. We put it in a saucepan, fill it with water so that the vegetables are covered.

8. We send a pot of potatoes to the stove, cook until half cooked. The potatoes should be a little underdone. Drain the water.

9. Peel the onion, cut into cubes. Pour vegetable oil into a cauldron, send it to the fire.

10. In the preheated oil, spread the onion, fry until transparent. It will take about 5 minutes. Then add coconut milk to the cauldron.

11. Let the milk boil a little, literally 1-2 minutes, then add the curry. We cook for another minute.

12. Then we put turtle meat, potatoes, bay leaf into the cauldron. Top up the broth in which the meat was cooked, so that all the ingredients are covered.

13. Bring to a boil, then cook for 30 minutes. Here it will be possible to adjust the consistency: if necessary, add more broth, for a more liquid curry.

14. We adjust the taste with Worcestershire sauce, salt and sugar. Season with ground black pepper. Stir, remove from heat.

Before serving, we extract the bay leaves. We arrange the curry on serving plates, enrich with chopped coriander according to the recipe.

Traditionally, rice is served with curry, but this is also at your discretion.

Bon appetit!
