Beef stew today, with carrots, parsnips, onions, garlic, tinned tomatoes, water, rosemary, seasalt, black pepper, and allspice. Basic, but hopefully good in this cold weather. :j0 -

Sounds good. I would have put red wine in mine, but we haven't got any left after yesterday (ahem!)

The original recipe came from a poster on here actually, I just tweaked it slightly - I will go and try to find it for you...
EDIT: Here it is, I didn't use the garlic, but added some tomato Puree, mixed herbs, parsnip and celery (chopped very small and fried with the other veg).
I then made dumplings to the recipe on the Atora Suet box (100g Flour, 50g Suet, pinch of salt and enough water to make a dough) But I cooked them seperately in a pan of simmering water for 20 minutes because I forgot to put them in the SC at the right time! My SC cookbook says to put dumplings in 2 hours from the end of cooking or "until risen and soft."Yesturday did a beef stew:
one pack (500g) Sainsburys "everybody's favorite" beef £2.20
1 leek sliced
2 carrots diced
1 onion diced
1 or 2 garlic cloves
1 large can cheap tomatoes
plain flour mixed with a teaspoon each of paprika, ground pepper and salt
1 tablespoon of mushroom ketchup ( substitute for 1/2 tbsp lea and perrins)
a glug of red wine if you like
veg oil for frying
turn on SC
prep vegetables and get everything ready
gently fry the veg and garlic until translucent and transfer to plate
dust beef in the flour mix and fry on high heat till browned (just do a few pieces at a time) and transfer to plate
deglaze fry pan with the wine/tomatoes mix
add the fried veg and meat and stir
add water if too thick
bring to boil and transfer to SC
cook for 4 to 6 hours on low.
will serve 4 (or 2 for main meal and left overs whizzed up for soup the next day)
tasty served with rice, potatoes or in a large yorkshire pudding case.
The Paprika mixed with the flour gives a lovely warm, spicyness to the stew. I am drooling just thinking about it!Value of prizes 2010 - 2017: £8374 Wins 2022: Magic set
