Comfort food choice for snow/icey weather

[filcon]

Just had 2 days of Stovies, sheer Ayrshire comfort food.
Cooking away in the slow cooker at low all day, stewing into excellence and ready when you want it.

Recipe;

Slice sausage, aberdeen angus beef sausages and black pudding, salt ,pepper, lee perrins.

Tatties mixed sizes, turnip, carrots, parsnip, onions and mushrooms.

Stew the ingredients and then chuck in oxo cubes.
If it gets to thick I like to add a wee drop of beer or stout to thin it.

Give Stovies a wee go
cheers
Phil

Just got my fave on the go

Duck and Pheasant stew.

2 duck breasts and 2 pheasant breasts cube then coat in flour. Colour them in a hot pan then add them to a pot with 1/4 cup pearl barley, 1/4 cup harricot beans,1 onion,1 turnip, 1/2 swede, 2 carrots, 1 large potato.
Put 1/2 pint home made cider in the pan you cooked the birds in and get all the juices out of the pand and add to the stew top up with water and 2 oxo cubes.
Cook on a slow heat for as long as you can i will do mine through the night, when its nice and thick bowl it up...
Serve with herby dumplings if your starving...

I know you might all think me weird but I say you just can't beat a lemon and sugar topped..... pancake!

Just had a nice big home made fish pie. Smoked haddock, cod, salmon and prawns. Couple of sliced boiled eggs in there and some spinach. Lots of steaming mash as the topping. Snow still coming down, log fire burning in the grate, and maybe a Laphroaig or Stones ginger wine later.
Could life be more cosy?

That sounds like a plan Phil.

May try that in the Dutchie and in the oven.

 

[bigbear]

Oxtail stewed in red wine with root veg and herbs, going to cook some dumplings in it tonight and serve with carrot and swede mashed with butter and black pepper. Roast potatoes. Red wine.
That ought to comfort us.

Yer can't whack a good hot and sour soup before a main meal, loads of sea food innit, Tom Yam paste, water chestnuts, straw mushies, noodles, bamboo shoots and chillies, gets to yer toes and warms yer for hours on end.

 

[Bushwhacker]

Lamb, lamb and more lamb. Tasty and fatty.

 

[andythecelt]

I prefer a vat of thick, hot stew/soup. I roast a couple of those 99p turkey drumsticks you get in most supermarkets but I wrap them in rashers of bacon. Then I boil up spuds, swede, carrots, mushrooms, leek, onions and lentils in stock with herbs and ground black pepper. While it's heating I strip all the meat off the bone, roughly chop it and throw it in with the veg. I usually make enough for a few days, the second day I just add dumplings to make it a bit different. Serve with chunks of a good strong cheese and crusty bread. Lovely on a cold night!

 

[locum76]

That sounds good Andy.

Yesterday was Fridge Scrap stew for me, bendy carrots, shriveled half neep, wrinkly sprouts etc all boiled up with lentils and plenty of herbs an spices. serve with oatcakes.

I usually like lamb too, but over the first few day days of the week I hate about a pound of duck confit as Cassoulet. That much meat just aint good for yer constitution.
