DS hates lentils and mashed potatoes. What else can I do with a stew?

Dumplings

Came on to say polenta or sadza.

HarrietKettleWasHere · 29/10/2018 16:27

Baked sweet potato, potato dauphinois, dumplings, potato croquettes, potato gnocchi.

Hunks of fresh bread. Salty butter. Yum.

BarryTheKestrel · 29/10/2018 16:27

Roast potatoes. Crusty bread.

AtleastitsnotMonday · 29/10/2018 16:27

Roasted baby potatoes.
Have you got dumplings in it? If so I wouldn’t bother with potatoes and just serve with brocolli and green beans.
Or made a scone top like a cobbler.
Duchess potatoes are good and a bit retro!

chemenger · 29/10/2018 16:28

Roast or boiled potatoes, couscous, sweet potato, chips, rice at a push, flat noodles and pretend its stroganoff, crusty bread, lots of veg.

troodiedoo · 29/10/2018 16:28

Some good suggestions, think I'll do beef stew tomorrow.

wonkylegs · 29/10/2018 16:28

Suet Dumplings or gnocchi depending on the style of stew

OneStepMoreFun · 29/10/2018 16:29

brown rice, white rice, dumplings, dauphinoise potatoes

CovenofMiLsfromHades · 29/10/2018 16:29

Dumplings for me too.
Its not traditional but would go nicely with pasta.

TeddyIsaHe · 29/10/2018 16:30

Soft, cheesy polenta. Yum!

Andtheresaw · 29/10/2018 16:30

serve in a giant Yorkshire pudding with lots of veg. No spud required. Yum!

TheQueef · 29/10/2018 16:32

Plate size Yorkshire pudding with a bit of sage and onion stuffing sprinkled in the batter.
Soft top dumplings.
Green beans, cabbage or spring greens.

BluthsFrozenBananas · 29/10/2018 16:35

Crusty bread and butter or jacket potatoes if they’re not too close to mash for your DS.

Ta1kinpeece · 29/10/2018 16:36

bread
or dumplings

Bloomcounty · 29/10/2018 19:23

Doughballs, which I assume are what everyone else is calling dumplings. Or rice. I love beef stew with rice, esp if its a winey stew. Yum!

FekkoThePenguin · 29/10/2018 19:25

Couscous. I rather like Couscous.

MissConductUS · 29/10/2018 19:25

DH does a beef burgundy that we serve over egg noodles or rice. If there's already a starch in the stew (like potatoes) I wouldn't add another.

Hogtini · 29/10/2018 19:26

Salt, pepper and rosemary dumplings
