JKD Posted Saturday at 20:23 Report Share Posted Saturday at 20:23 (edited) Still got some shin of beef left, so thought "what about a stew ?" 🤔 So, a few chopped small potatoes, sprouts [yup😆], a leek, 2 small diced carrots, chopped green beans, chopped button mushrooms, a shallot and red wine concoction started it all off,,,, stock cubes and gravy granules, seasoning, lid on and relax 🙂 Nice and easy to bung everything in a large pan, and an hour and a half later,,,, SERVICE !!! 😋 😃 Edited Saturday at 20:25 by JKD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted Saturday at 21:07 Report Share Posted Saturday at 21:07 The stew look fine , I would willingly eat a bowl of that , my grandparents used to do a lot of stew including Rabbit , on the top of the saucepan they would steam a couple of suet dumplings , any dumplings ever left over would be eaten cold sliced in half with a nice knob of butter , simple but very effective .

Tomato seems to be the 'go to' ingredient in a lot of things, just don't think it belongs in a stew. Will have a rummage through the cupboards to see what might be suitable to lift the leftover leftovers 😆😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can put just about anything in a stew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mushrooms are good. I use fresh, tinned if no fresh to hand (keep a couple of tins handy) and I have some dried to try, but not used them yet. You can also get a frozed bag of ready chopped 'fajita mix' - which has onion, mild peppers etc in it. https://www.trolley.co.uk/product/ocado-frozen-fajita-mix/GGL009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a diced onion instead of shallot would have been better. Don't get me wrong,,,, it was nice, just not very nice. Just me being fussy I suppose 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
