I
called this dish a Hot Pot – but I
am sure it doesn't qualify technically to be called that – particularly since
it doesn't have a layer of potato on top.
The
ingredients were:
Gravy
beef
½
onion
2
cloves garlic
Tomato
puree (or passata)
Red
wine
Salt
and pepper
A
thickening agent – in my case a hot pot mix but I could have used gravy mix.
I
didn't brown anything. Just put it into
the casserole dish and cooked it away on low for 1 ½ hours.
After
tasting it, I added ½ teaspoon of sugar to balance the acidity of the
tomatoes. Then in went a carrot, potato,
some pumpkin pieces, celery stalk and leek – all chopped into largish
pieces. And some chilli of course.
Serve
when the vegetables are tender.
you couldn't ask for a more delicious cold weather dish - wonderful :)

This looks delicious! Thanks so much for linking up with "Try a New Recipe Tuesday!" :-)
ReplyDeleteLancashire 'Hotpot' is a northern English dish made traditionally with lamb. I was brought up in Lancashire and my mother always made 'Bacon' Hotpot. This consisted of a layer of sliced potatoes, layer of bacon pieces/rashers, layer of onions and repeat until your dish is full. It doesn't look very appetising but it's very filling and it's one pot cooking, so you have little washing up!
ReplyDeleteCall it what you please--it will still look tasty! Cold night here. This dish would be perfect. And one pot is a huge bonus. Thanks for linking up! I saw that pasta will be the next Food on Friday. I'll be back for that!
