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.
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
Chunky vegetable stew
As all the above
But don't add meat
Sorted
Haven’t made one for years as don’t like them but used to sauté all the veg with some bay leaf and garlic
Makes it a lot sweeter
Minced beef and onions stew
I think they call it scouse ?
