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.
Oh that doesn't sound like something I'll have in my pantry

You've got to cook it for a good few hours.

There a bit too much fat in there for me and the meat is slightly pink but other than that it looks fine.

Use a slice of bread lightly 'skimmed' over the top to absorb the globules of fat Lee and it will be fine.

Thicken it with the gravy granules Lee, let it simmer for another hour or so and it should be lush.

Celery goes perfect in any casseroles, stews etc,along with onions and carrots it's what all the cheffies use.
