it's been a long time since I did any real cooking, sort me out a simple stew. - Page 4

I bought a kilo of beef but it looked too much, and in fairness I think that it would have been.

The rest has gone in the freezer.

Glad you enjoyed it Feek, and YMF too. I can see why you're disappointed in LMF. At 14, she shouldn't be crying over food. You'd expect it from a grump 5 yr old, but surely not a 14 year old? I think what this calls for is giving her MOOOOOOORE lovely veg and stuff until she's used to it and no longer fussy

I was a bit of a fussy kid and my parents just said "eat it or go to bed hungry", so I ate it.. and am thankfully no longer fussy. She'll thank you in the long run

Was just about to suggest Coq au vin. It's one of my favourite stews along with Boeuf Bourguignonne. Mmmmm!!

Looks quite good, not sure I want to use red wine straight away, but that's certainly one worth thinking of.

Looking for one with white wine to be served on rice.

And Kate, that was basically the score today as in "this is what you get, eat it or go hungry".

Wow looks scrumptuous Mr Feek!!!

I purchased a large stew pot from ASDA Living at the weekend for Â£9 so no excuses now!

Hurrah!

You can use chicken stock with a splash of white wine instead of the red wine and beef stock. Watch out for chicken stock cubes as they can be quite salty. Don't stew the chicken for too long because it really dries out, stick to thighs and drumsticks and remove the skin.

I made stew for us tonight!

I went to the local butchers and popped my butchers cherry... I don't really like butchers because they have trotters and real kidneys and stuff

and I think thats gross...Lp but I needed stewing meat and the eggs are cheap there and I was in town

So I used a bit of Dym's recipe and some of Brad's recipe as he made a yum stew once when I went round... I also used some of my own stock that I had frozen instead of the boiling water

got some Aunt Bessies dumplings (cba to make em

) and roasted some potatoes (perfecto now!)

Very yummy

There is some sauce still left but we ate all the meat - do you think I can freeze this for future usage?
