Recipes Comfort Food Pork-and-Potato Curry 4.7 (3) 2 Reviews This deeply flavorful curry is one of the many delicious staff meals prepared by chef Katianna Hong at The Charter Oak restaurant in St. Helena, California. She likes to make it using ingredients from the Napa Valley, like white wine, citrus leaves and spices. Hong also weaves in her own tastes, incorporating Southeast Asian and Indian flavors. She makes the curry with pork stock, but a rich chicken stock is nice, too.
