    Hi guys
    Just wondering if anyone has any ideas for mince stew ? My mother makes a lovely one but she is out of the country so cant ask her.
    Any ideas greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Chop up 2 carrots and 2 onions and 2 sticks of celery (optional), add 1lb of lean mince made into little meatballs. Crumble 2 Oxo cubes in and add salt, pepper and a teaspoon of mixed herbs. Gently stir in a heaped tablespoon of flour, then pour on enough hot (not boiling) water to cover. Add agood squirt of tomato puree and a dash of Worcestershire sauce if you have it. Stir gently.If you're cooking it in the oven, cover and cook at 180 centigrade for 2 hours. If you're cooking it in a pot, add a little extra water, a handful of barley or soup mix and cover, bring to the boil and simmer for 2 hours.
    I haven't made this for years and now I have a longing for it!

    ps; This same recipe works for steak pieces - you can cook it in the oven then cover it with pastry to make a pie.

    Dizzyblonde has it spot on. The only difference between her recipe & mine would be that I don't roll the mince into meatballs & don't add flour to mine either - I like my stew juice a bit watery.

    You could also peel a few spuds & throw them in for the last 45 mins or so. They'll soak up the juices really well.
