Favourite autumnal/winter food

[Grumpbum123]

What are you looking forward to eating once the weather starts to turn?

I can’t wait to cook a Sausage and Lentil stew with soda bread and a apple and plum crumble with custard. It’s become a tradition once the weather gets cold enough to wear coats x3 days in a row.

I love it all!

Chicken, ham & leek pie
Toad in the hole
Stew and dumplings
Butternut squash soup
Treacle tart and custard

Stews and casseroles! I have a great cookbook called Stew! and the recipes are gorgeous.

Chicken casserole in the slow cooker. With dumplings. Delicious.

Oh god, proper roast dinners! Sausages and mash with gravy. Stews, pies, hot puddings...

Love cold weather food!

Sorry the book is called Stewed!

Autumnal food is the best:
-veggie sausage casserole with hassleback potatoes

• cauliflower cheese with jacket potatoes
• soups - all the soups - but especially black bean soup served with nachos
• crumble
• bread and butter pudding
• chilli
• mushroom and Stilton pie
• curries

Potato & leek soup
Cottage pie
Curries (I like them very hot!)

Roll on the cool, fresh days but with no rain 😁

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie please could I have the black bean soup recipe

Baked apple with dried fruit & cinnamon

I love autumn and the changing of the seasons but don’t think I’m quite ready to contemplate winter cooking just yet.

But, since you ask:

Soup, in all its infinite glories
Stews
Cottage pie
Roast chicken served hot as opposed to with a salad

It's not really a recipe as I made it up, Grump, but it's something along the lines of:
diced onion, sweet potato, carrot, red pepper
crushed garlic
Fry this all up. Add chilli, paprika and thyme, plus a teaspoon of chipotle paste and a splash of red wine.
Drain a couple of cans of black beans and mash them in a bowl. Add to pan with some water.
As it cooks, mash it with a potato masher every now and then, so that some of the sweet potato and carrots get crushed and help thicken it.
Sometimes I use one of those packs of ready chopped sweet potato and butternut squash mixed together (Sainsbo's do them), if feeling lazy.
Cook it for ages - you want everything to get all melting together. Better if cooked earlier in the day and then warmed through.
Nice with a dollop of sour cream, and even better if served with nachos and homemade guac alongside!

Stew and Dumplings!!! Definitely 😋

I’ve just made bramble jelly and so DH made scones - already feeling autumny here.

Also I like:
Thai pumpkin soup
Jamie’s fish pie
Moroccan chicken casserole in slow cooker
Basically anything that I can throw in the slow cooker is great - I keep a stash of frozen casserole veg so I can bung it in with chicken/random meat and stock/tomatoes and herbs/spices in the morning and feel very accomplished then waste the remainder of the day watching Netflix

Fondue & raclette! Tartiflette. Anything with melty cheese. I suppose these are winter foods really though.

I'm making a chilli tomorrow (it feels autumnal here in Scotland) because I have so many tomatillos and need something to have with a salsa. i'm looking forward to it a lot.
Also, can't wait for all my lovely winter squashes to be ready to harvest.
