Indian spiced pork sausage with caramelized figs
Pork second courses
For the past couple of years, I have had to deliberately change the way I cook, in order to keep up with my increasingly rambunctious toddler. While I was previously accustomed to spending hours and hours in the kitchen, these days it is all about jetting in and out, as quickly as possible, before she wakes up from her nap! <br />This recipe is my riff on the popular Indian dish called keema matar (ground meat with peas). I usually make it with ground chicken and it is another one of those recipes that is a life saver when you are pressed for time! However this time, I had to use up some pork sausage and when I saw the beautiful, juicy figs in the store, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. <br />I added as much color as I possibly could to try and entice my child to have a bite; she hates Indian food (dagger to my heart) and tried to create a nice balance from the hot sausage, sweet figs, all the warm spices and tangy lime. I am an absolute fig fiend, so I added a whole dozen to the dish - you could add a few less if you don't want a fig in every bite! Enjoy! :) <br />
