Simple Stew

Filling, healthy, cheap, easy! 😉

Ingredients

• This is proper comfort food and any you dont use can be frozen, just remember to make sure it is properly hot through when reheating. Its nice if you are having friends over for dinner or just eating while slobbed out watching a film!!
• 1. Any cheap cuts of lamb, beef or pork. They are normally on the meat counter at the supermarket. I think nex is generally quite cheap. Tastes great when slow cooked like in this recipe.
• 2. 2 or 3 Carrots, Sliced nice and chunky
• 3. Potato, peeled and chopped into chunks
• 4. Onion, chopped as fine or thick as you like
• 5. As many Mushrooms as you like, quartered. (i wouldnt worry about peeling them…leave the dirt on..adds to the flavour)
• 5. Any other veg you can think of…
• *Courgette
• * Sweet Potato
• * parsnip etc….
• 6. Tin of chopped tomatoes, the cheaper the better.
• 7. Italian oxo cub, if you dont want an italian, chuck in a regular oxo cube, it doesn’t matter, it still works just fine 🙂
• 8. sprinkling of gravy granules the thicken suace
