Re: Stew

Always leave it a day before eating. Tastes nicer.

Re: Stew

Fry your lamb for 10 mins to seal it.
Add chopped garlic and half tube tomatoe puree.
Add 2 knorr veg stockpots.
Add tin tomatoes.
Add your veg, potatoes, carrots, leeks, onions, etc, I like chopped broccoli added too. Fill with water.
Cook for 2 hours.
Add lamb gravy granules to thicken it up and cook for last half hour, I usually add doe boys or dumplings at this point.

Re: Stew

Was given a slow cooker last Christmas, so have made plenty of stews this year. One full slow cooker full of stew provides five large meals, so I freeze some of it. I’ve done all sorts, some with plenty of fresh herbs, some with dried herbs and I’ve used corned beef (very much a Valleys thing I think because I’d never come across it in Cardiff), chicken and more exotic stuff like venison, rabbit and game for the meat and, although I say it myself, they’ve all been delicious.

The constants have been quite a few potatoes, one of those fresh veg stew packs you get from supermarkets, an extra carrot, peas, vegetable stock with flour to thicken it and garlic purée and Worcester sauce to flavour it. Also I always cook it on the lowest setting overnight.

Re: Stew

Stewing beef browned first
Broth frozen from previous stews as a starter
Potatoes, lots onions, carrots, maybe swede.
since moving to Poland they have stew packs, so now add parsnips leeks & celeriac.
Simmer for at least 4 hours
Add dumplings with an hour to go
Add Oxo cubes with 15 minutes to go
Always make too much so freeze it as a starter for the next one

My Nan in Swansea used to often make us a corned beef stew when we visited as kids. Never really had it at home in Cardiff. She called it ‘Welsh Dinner’.

Surprised there's no Welsh Cawl recipes

I was a bit dubious about it at first, but was assured it was very nice - they were right and I’ll definitely be making some more.

Re: Stew

Putting corned beef in stew is one up from using road kill. Shirley not stew if corned beef is used. Has to be beef. No dumplings.. Let it cool (quicker if the pan is placed in a bowl of cold water), skim the fat off. Leave (overnight if possible), heat through slowly, add cubed spuds and share. Season to taste or, in my nan's case, half a slab of salt!

Re: Stew

A guy I used to work with told me that when he made a stew he used all the usual ingredients but intead of a stock he used to chuck in 2 tins of oxtail soup. He swore by it. I must get round to trying it this winter. He used to make it the day before he ate it as well.
