My Mom always made a version of this and we all loved it. My Dad is a very "bland" guy when it comes to spices so she always only added a slight sprinkle of curry. I make it once in a while but never thought of agging sherry. MMMMMM! I think I'll try it!


Made this last night. It was better then my Mom's recipe. Matt is not a huge fan of curry and only tolerates this dish usually. Therefore I only added 1 1/2 tsp. curry. This time Matt said it was better then usual. We really enjoyed the added sherry as well as the garlic. Used fresh broccoli and nixed the croutons (didn't have any but had everything else). I loved it. In fact I'm eating leftovers right now and they are even better then last night. Thanks will always use this for now on.


Mattsbelly,
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think it originally came from one of my great aunts. You can always play around with the amount of curry or even make it an option but that sherry is an essential.
