I make stew with my mum's recipe, i'd share it but it's top secret :wink: it's bloody lovely, i love stew.

Sounds good apart from the celery and Worcester sauce :)

Hmm.. I'm beginning to think the celery and Worcester sauce was a mistake! :laugh:

Instead of adding the wine, just drink it and then you won't care what it taste like. :hehe:

Lee. 13-01-2015 03:49 PM
I'm honestly considering Chinese now.. It looks crap! It smells quite nice however :)

You've got to taste it or you wont know what seasoning to add.

Well there's salt in the stock cube and gravy granules so don't want to add more anyway :)

Will this turn out ok do you think? Or will it be putrid and I'd be better ordering takeaway??
I'm not calling it synchronicity, just coincidence, but I swear I've just cooked a beef stew for tonight's meal!

The recipe you describe and method will be just fine Lee, and very similar to mine, but I skip the Worcester sauce, use more onion and extra stock cube. I like to drain off stock into a deep sided roasting dish, add to it, then cook suet dumplings in it separately in the oven.

Delicious.

Lee. 13-01-2015 04:08 PM
It looks pretty bad Vanessa! Hopefully it'll look nicer once I thicken it!

You've got to cook the beef before you thicken it. Local Chinese is looking good atm.

FFs! I'm not THAT stupid! It's cooking just now and once it's ready I'll thicken the damned thing!! :joker:

But yes.. Beef satay is very appealing right now!

Depends what type of dumplings you want to go with. I'd skip the dumplings if I were you just concentrate on the taste .

McDougal's Suet Dumpling mix and follow the easy instructions. I use several packets and make big dumplings. Doing them in the oven and turning them once or twice, makes them brown and firmish on the outside and really fluffy on the inner.

If you like them in the traditional way, just add them to the stewpot and partially cover for the last 30 to 40 minutes of cooking.
