Our local Polish Deli had what we thought was a version of Salami. It turned out to be dry cured Pork in a wide sausage casing. But not to worry – this recipe really worked!
"F" in our ingredients alphabet = Fennel
The Fennel sauce base with intended as a sauce for the Pork joint but it was a bit too pungent for our liking. But it made a good Curry base.

Cumin seeds, dry fried
2 cloves of Garlic, minced

We had some home made special fried Rice in the freezer. A bit of an odd combination. But there’s nothing new there!
