Hope you're feeling better. Took both of us here 2 or 3 days to get over the vaccination.0 -

That looks so rich and juicy; I can never make stew like that. I hope you enjoyed it!

I did!. This is the way I make it. If you haven't got a slow cooker, double the amount of stock and put it in the oven in a casserole dish at 170C for 2 hours.
1lb/500g of lean minced beef
A handful of pearl barley
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
1 stick of celery, diced
A crushed clove of garlic
A tablespoon of flour
Half a tin of chopped tomatoes
A mug of hot water mixed with a beef Oxo cube (or a pint with 2 cubes if you're cooking it in the oven)
A tablespoon of tomato purée
A dash of Worcestershire sauce
Salt & black pepper
A good pinch of Italian herbs or mixed herbs
Sauté the veg in a little oil until it starts to soften, then add the mince and garlic and fry until the mince has browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Lower the heat and stir in the flour, let it cook for a minute. Then add the stock, tomatoes and purée, stirring well. Add the Worcestershire sauce and herbs, and salt & black pepper. Put it all into the slow cooker for 3-4 hours on high.0 -

The whole house had a vegetarian Indian meal tonight, I made a tarka dahl, red lentil curry from scratch, with assorted sides of samosas, pakoras etc (shop bought) with pilau rice and naan.
Curry made with red and white onions finely chopped, garlic,ginger and chilli, lentils chopped tomatoes (fresh not tinned,) and coconut milk. Spices - green saffron spice blend.
I know the curry isn't much to look at, but it was bloody delicious, there wasn't a scrap left on anyone's plate!
