Simple 5-2 Recipes:AUTUMN LAMB STEW

198 cals per serving

Today I’m making a lovely warming pot of lamb stew. Takes a few hours to cook so am getting it on early. But by tea-time it will smell delicious and will feed all the family with plenty left over. I plan to eat mine with some tasty kale, but will make some mashed potato for everyone else.

Serves 8 Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 2 hours 30  minutes

600g lean diced lamb

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion

2 carrots

4 celery stalks

2 cloves garlic

200ml red wine

1 small swede

2 tbsp tom purée

2 can tomatoes

2 bay leaves

500ml veg or chicken stock

Heat the oil in a large oven proof casserole. Add the lamb and roughly chopped onions. Stir. Cook for 5 minutes until you get a couple of burnt bits. Roughly chop all veg (this is a big chunk casserole). Add the sliced garlic and chopped veg. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to the boil. Simmer gently for 30 minutes. Either transfer to a slow cooker for about 8 hours or else cook with the lid on for about 4 hours at 140C (120C fan, 275F) or 2 hours at a very low simmer.
