Delicious . Beef took the 90 minutes to cook as advised. Very tasty flavoursome dish. I gave the same kit to my brother for his birthday. I’m at him to give it a shot…. And when he does he’ll be another convert to The Spicery

Thanks Jane - glad to hear it worked so well and we look forward to seeing your brother's version on the Wall of Fame!

Beef Rendang is a delicious Thai curry. It is one of our favourites. It is easy to make and we have not only tried it with beef but also with goat. It is a curry which really benefits from slow cooking after the initial burst of heat. The longer you cook...
