I'm making stew, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[TrillianAstra]

It currently has onion, carrot, garlic, beef, red wine, black pepper, beef stock (oxo I'm afraid) and cornflour for hopefully making it go thick.

Any suggestions for additions?

I have tiger bread for dunking

was going to say dumplings,bu bread will be good!

herbs?

mmmmmmmmmm indeed

Some roast parsnips to serve it with?

What herbs go with red wine and black pepper?

trillian,i dont know. i'm no great cook!

just tend to throw things in. i sometimes cook with a few bayleaves,and chuck in a few mixed herbs....

maybe someone else knows?

but i'm sure it will be as delicious as it it....i made some recently,seved with mashed potatoes. you'll be so full you wont be able to move!

I added thyme and a squeeze of tomato pureé last time I made stew and it was lovely.

my children complain when I cook stew, they say it looks yucky
More for me and DH

I made a stew just like yours the other day - it was actually a Jamie Oliver recipe called "Jool's Favourite Stew" or something, and it included tomato puree, herbs, parsnips, butternut squash, garlic and a touch of lemon zest at the end as well.

It was alright. I sometimes make a stew which is a basic stew recipe with a couple of tablespoons of redcurrant jelly stirred into it near the end and it is delicious!

Oh can I come?

Herbs for stew?

Throw in rosemary, bay, thyme, and put parsley in at the end.

And chopped parsley in the suet dumplings too!
