« on: October 31, 2011, 03:50:42 pm »
Name of Recipe: Beef stew with mushrooms.  Am not sure where I got this one from as I jotted it down ages ago.

Number of People: 2-3

Ingredients:

140g onions, peeled and quartered
Garlic to taste, peeled
150g green or red peppers or a mixture of the two, quartered
40g oil
500g stewing beef, cut into small pieces
2 carrots, scraped, coarsely chopped
1 tin of mushrooms, drained or 130g fresh mushrooms, sliced if necessary
1 bay leaf
90g dry white wine
250g or more beef stock
Salt and pepper
Fresh or dried oregano, to taste
1 large potato or more, cut into smallish pieces
75g single cream or milk

Preparation:

Put the onion, garlic and peppers in the bowl and process for 2 seconds at Speed 5.
Push the food from the wall of the jug down into the bowl. add the oil and fry for 8 minutes / Speed Spoon / Temp. Varoma.
Add the meat, set the blade to REVERSE and cook for 3 minutes / Speed Spoon / Temp. Varoma.
Add all the remaining ingredients, except for the potato and cream and cook at the same temperature and speed for 40 minutes.
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the potatoes.
Add the cream and cook for 3 minutes longer.

Photo:  Bad one below.  The food was steaming so much :-)

Tips/Hints:  This is a rather dry stew, so add extra stock if desired.  Try with mutton or lamb.

Thanks, another one to add to the list to try.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

As a Newbie I need some good easy casserole recipes.
Am going to try this with lamb to cater to Kiwi Hubby.
