This thread really made me want to make a stew, but without thawing rabbits and going shopping it was going to be something different. I found 4 roast chicken thighs in the fridge, a few spuds, tin of chick peas, few olives, carrots and other stuff, quickly turned muslim and dug out some harissa paste and ras el hanout, as will as the tagine. It turned out nice and fiery.

Told her to get some stuff in at the weekend and we'll have a proper stew with dumplings next week.

Wished id off taken a photo of the stew I had for lunch and dinner yesterday now!

Aint got no scales so had to guess the flour to suet ratio, 1st lot the other week were too dry, and yesterday too fatty, but they was bloody nice! & done like I read on here - took the lid off the pyrex casserole thingy so they got a bit of a crust on, almost like me aul Nan used to make but of course never be the same, me mum was shocking in the kitchen, but both me nans were proper ;)

 

Bon appetit

When I used to walk into my nans I used to smell the lamb stew and think 'for fcuks sake not again', but I now realise how good it was and a good way to feed the kids etc, definately going to make one next week. BTW, the wife liked the tagine, but she'll deffo get hotty botty in the morning LOL

Well I got my wish, just made a stew with 6 dumplings. She bought one of those 4 bird rolled roast things out of Lidl for sunday and it ended up dry as fcuk, so I used it for the stew. Turkey, chicken, goose and duck and plenty of chunky veg, guts are rumbling.
