It's bloody cold out at the mo, and with that in mind, plus Michelle's eternal snot fest I give you this.
Heat yer oven (fan assisted) to 150. Meantime chop a red onion, a carrot and two medium size spuds and whack 'em in a casserole dish. Add three chopped gherkins and a good load of chopped garlic too.
Brown a load of game, for me it was duck, pheasant and partridge (around 450 grams of lean meat) in a frying pan then chuck that in yer pot too. You can get this from Waitrose if you don't have a friendly butcher (and I don't).
Make a stock using a big squidge of tomato pureé, around 300 ml boiling water, 1 chicken oxo cube and two big spoons of dijon mustard. Stir it up.
Add the stock to the rest, put the lid on and bung in the oven for about 1hr 20 minutes.
Take the dish out of the oven and put some of this delicious stew in a bowl. Eat it, marvel at it and wonder how it is that you can cook something so dee bleedin licious without resorting to a recipe book.
I've got plenty left for tomorrow - can't wait
!
Anyone got any good food ideas they're willing tee share over these loooong winter months?
