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.
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’.
