Used up leftover bits and pieces to make an easy lunch today, before my grocery shopping tomorrow...
Corned beef stew:
- three quarters of a tin of corned beef, chopped into small cubes (the rest was used in a sandwich yesterday!
)
- five large potatoes, peeled and diced
- four large carrots (just starting to go mushy at the ends
), peeled and diced
- one very large onion, peeled and diced
- three large cloves of garlic, minced
- tin of chopped tomatoes
- one beef stock cube and one pork (I only had one beef cube left
)
- water (just enough to cover everything)
- two tablespoons of beef gravy granules
- salt & fresh black pepper
Cooked in a large pot on the stove for 50 minutes, stirred regularly.
... and some dumplings to go with it:
- 150g of strong white flour
- one-and-a-half teaspoons of baking powder
- one-and-a-half teaspoons of salt
- 70g of lightly-salted butter, melted
- splash of warm water
Mixed well by hand, and divided into twelve small balls, cooked in the oven on medium heat for 20 minutes or so until starting to brown, then transferred into the stew just before serving.
Didn't use a recipe for this as it was thrown together at the last minute, and you can't really go far wrong with a stew!
But, my-oh-my - it was really tasty. Photos next time I make it, because I
will be making it again
