Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds elk roast, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 large orange bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 4 cups white sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 tablespoons yellow curry powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups light coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• fresh basil, chopped
• Brown rice or white rice, cooked

Directions

1. Heat a skillet over low heat and add coconut flakes. Stir coconut frequently
   until lightly browned, about a minute. Remove when done.

2. Tenderize cubed elk and then season lightly with salt. Heat oil in a dutch
   oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add elk and brown on all sides.
   Remove when done.

3. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and add onions, bell pepper and garlic. Sauté until
   onions and bell peppers are softened about 10 minutes. Add curry powder,
   cumin, sugar, water and coconut milk and bring to boil. Add the elk and sweet
   potatoes back and reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally.
   Cook for about 1 hour until elk is tender.

4. Uncover and increase the heat to medium. Boil until slightly thickened,
   about 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

5. Garnish with toasted coconut and fresh basil and serve over brown or white rice.
