Mutton Do Pyaza/ Mutton in Onion Gravy


Mutton Do pyaza is a classic North Indian dish in which onions are added twice in two different ways. Loads of Onions are added at two stages, sliced and ground. This dish is full of flavors. The mutton pieces are slowly braised on low heat in which the onions are added at two different stages.
This dish is very rich, spicy and loaded with flavors. We can prepare this dish using chicken or veggies of your choice. An amazingly flavored lip-smacking dish can be prepared within no time using all the ingredients available in your kitchen.


The beauty of a perfect mutton do pyaza lies in the caramelization of the onions. As a kid, I remember the first time my mom made this dish using chicken. She got this recipe from a paper cut out, which she always does whenever she sees a recipe in magazines or newspapers. A perfect dish during festive time and get-togethers. We can have this along with chapatis, naans or with pulav. I am sure that this will be a super hit among everyone.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
