Curried lamb
1 cup diced celery with tops
1 small onion, diced
3 tablespoons cooking fat or oil
2 cups diced cooked lean lamb
¾ cup brown gravy
Curry powder
2 drops tabasco sauce
Salt
Brown celery and onion slowly in the fat or oil.
Add meat, gravy, and seasonings. Use ⅛ to 1 teaspoon curry powder, as desired.
Stir over low heat until well mixed and hot. If too dry, add boiling water.
Menu Suggestion
Serve with flaky cooked rice, snap beans, coleslaw, and for dessert sweetpotato pie or pineapple chiffon pie.
For Variety
To make a savory meat pie: Omit the curry powder and tabasco sauce. Pour heated meat, vegetables, and gravy into a casserole and top with crisp, golden-brown baking-powder biscuits just before serving.
Green peas and small potatoes may be added to or used in place of the onions and celery in the meat pie.
Serve crisp tossed lettuce salad with the meat pie, and for dessert have a pineapple and orange fruit cup and oatmeal cookies made with raisins and peanuts.
