What goes with beef stew except mashed potatoes?

[Sinalley1]

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

[imamearcat]

Yorkshire pudding or pancakes

[Serin]

Mashed carrots and turnips (with plenty of salt, pepper and butter).

[MadisonAvenue]

Crusty bread and dumplings

[kateandme]

I like the pastry on top touching the juices.i love that layer on the bottom that sogged with gravy!

[kateandme]

great with pearl barley either chucked I nwith it or cooked in some veg stock perhaps with onions and garlica dn celery.yum
dumplings
crust rolls or bread
saute,roast.boiled potatos
hedgehog potats are amazing
dauphinoise.
giant couscous.
on toast.
tortilini
basically anything!

I would drop some gnocchi in, buy really made in any supermarkets. Any you don’t use in can be frozen, and they also freeze cooked OK as part of any surplus stew. I think they are a store cup stable.

[HotInWinter]

I was going to say pie.
I tend to cook the pastry seperatly in the oven, and heat the stew on the hob. Then put stew on the plate, and 'top' with the pastry.

[Weenurse]

If there are enough juices I just add the lid. If not, I make up some instant gravy, mix all together once gravy is cool, then add lid. If you don’t let the gravy cool before you add to the rest, you get a soggy lid

[Sinalley1]

do i need to add any more stock or anything before putting the stew under a pastry lid? Or just that and whack it in oven?

[itsjustmebeingme]

I put new potatoes in mine

[Sinalley1]

Perfect. Thanks Weenurse. x

[Weenurse]

I do this all the time with this sort of thing. Just top with store bought puff pastry.

[Sinalley1]

So the stew was nice; DS 'sort of liked it.' He loved the yorkshires!

I want to turn the leftovers into a pie - basically stick a flaky pastry lid on top.

Will that ruin the meat? I'll have to reheat the meat anyway.

[cdtaylornats]

Turn it into Teviotdale Pie

[PUGaLUGS]

Definitely dumplings or Yorkshire pudding.

[Andtheresaw]

A blatant derail but my DS loved Yorkshire puds. Also couldn't take buttered bread (texture). He went though the primary years with packed lunches in a flask: all time favourite was tub of cold Yorkshires with a flask of hot stew to pour over. I batch cooked so probably easier than sandwiches!

[senua]

I've never made dumplings. Easy?

Yes. The trick is to put the lid on and leave them be to steam. Don't peek a look to see if they are done.
Left alone = light and fluffy. Peek a look = solid and lumpy

[FormerlyFrikadela01]

The recipe is on the back of the atora (the suet) packet.

[FormerlyFrikadela01]

Very easy. Suet, flour and water basically. You can add different herbs for flavour but I like them nice and basic.

[Sinalley1]

Wow! Some great suggestions! I think he'd love Yorkshire puddings.

I've never made dumplings. Easy?

[Bobbybobbins]

We had beef stew with Yorkie puds tonight, amazing!

[SilentBob]

Dumplings and tiger bread. And if there's potatoes in that there stew (and there better be potatoes!) you get to hit the triple carb siren!

[CovenofMiLsfromHades]

Balonz!

[spookyspookyspookhole]

Obviously Yorkshire pudding!!

[mathanxiety]

Gnocchi
