Loads of veg in to use so I'm making a variation of Jaime Olivers pukka chicken curry with paneer instead. Less dribble in mine though...

Spinach and spuds for a side dish of sag aloo. Homemade rotis too...

Sunday lunch Indian style.

I have been getting into stews recently. My fave so far with no fine chopping. Big chunks are the order of the day.

2x onions
3x celery sticks
3x carrots

Get a heavy cast iron pan on the go on the hob as hot as you can with a glug of rapeseed or veg oil, then throw your veg base in with a grind of salt and pepper. Keep stirring, around five minutes and then pour it all out into a bowl.

In the same pan, throw in some thickly diced lamb shoulder, don't mess with flour, just another grind of salt and pepper, until it is seared and browned all over but don't cook it, three mins tops of browning make sure your meat is as dry as possible before cooking I pat with kitchen roll.

Get the meat out on top of the veggies.

Deglaze the pan with a can of Guinness.

Add in the meat and veg, and then enough chicken stock until the pieces are barely covered.

Generous grind of salt and pepper, 3 squashed whole garlic cloves, 2 bay leaves, cover and leave in the oven. Oh and put a few diced potatoes and a quarter of a pack of butter in.

In the oven for at least 7hrs on gas mark 1. Last half hour stir in some cornflour premixed in equal water. I usually use two good tablespoons of cornflour.

Old school.

Sounds like a cracking Irish Stew that.

I made Nigella's baked Romaine lettuce with anchovies, garlic and a fried egg. It was shite.

However, baked Romaine with a drizzle of olive oil and a good dose of Louisiana Hot Pepper sauce is another story...

You do realise that she's just a clueless coke-snorting bint with delusions of grandeur, who in reality, hasn't got much of a clue how to cook?
