Recipes - winter warmers wanted

[Kazz]

Well I adore
Pork chops,
Chicken
Duck
Beef

And I am looking fornew recipies for winter warmers ie casseroles, braised dishes thing I can make then pop home at lunchtime put in the oven and have a hot meal waiting at night.

You must know some good ones - come on, help out an inexperienced cook. Karen

[dinahsmum]

Don't believe you are a rookie cook Kazz.
Rather than give recipes - which takes blimmin ages unless they're already stashed in 'my documents') I'll put some suggestions for dishes and leave you to find the recipe.
This is a good site - put the name of the dish or the ingredients you want to use and search away!

So, you could cook

brisket
lamb tagine
lamb shanks
goulash (mmm)
oxtail
an angicised curry/spiced casserole

as a start. Don't eat poultry, so I've forgotten most of those dishes. Chasseur, with a white wine sauce is good

Lamb tagine with chick peas, apricots and cous cous


INGREDIENTS:
http://www.ivillage.co.uk/i/t.gif
600g stewing lamb (shoulder or neck) cut into 2.5cm chunks
1-2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp turmeric
freshly ground black pepper
227g can of chopped tomatoes
300ml lamb stock
salt
400g canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
75g dried apricots, roughly chopped
250g pre-cooked couscous
400ml hot vegetable stock (or 1 heaped tsp Marigold vegetable bouillon with 400ml boiling water)
small handful (about 15g) freshly chopped coriander
http://www.ivillage.co.uk/i/t.gif http://www.ivillage.co.uk/i/t.gifhttp://www.ivillage.co.uk/i/t.gif
PREPARATION:
http://www.ivillage.co.uk/i/t.gif
1. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole and brown the lamb in batches, removing to the side when done.

2. Fry the onion until soft (about 5 minutes) then add the garlic, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric and black pepper and fry another minute or so.

3. Add the tomatoes and stock, bring to the boil, and then return the lamb to the casserole. Season with salt, cover and simmer for 1 hour.

4. After an hour, add the chickpeas and apricots and continue to simmer gently for another hour until the meat is tender. Add a little water if the liquid has reduced – you want plenty of rich sauce. 5. Before serving, pour the hot stock over the couscous and leave to absorb. Fluff up with a fork, season with salt and pepper and stir through the chopped coriander. Serve with the stew spooned over the couscous.

Well I've just gotten the recipe of a garlic soup. Its really good. And strong, so its ideal if you have a cold (like I do... again!!)

Here it is:

Garlic soup:

15-20 cloves of garlic - finely chopped
2 cans of skinned chopped tomatoes (we have cans with 400 grams in... That would be 2 times 14,11 oz)
2-3 tablespoons of oil (I used more.. It wasnt enough)
8 dl (1.4 pint or 28,16 fluid ounces) of stock (I used veggie)
2 teaspoons of paprika (uhm you have that spice in UK?)
salt and pepper
cream for dinners

Heat the oil in a pot.. Blanch (I think:? ) the garlic for 3 minutes, don't let it burn. Pour in the tomatoes, stock and add salt, pepper and paprika. Bring to a boil, let simmer for atleast 45 minutes. After that pour cream in till it tastes allright.. Its got quite an afterburner taste....

I was thinking, you could add meatlumps if you wanted, couldnt you? To make it into a caserole? Chicken fillets or diced pork.. Even roasted sliced bacon on top. It would make a fine base I think. And its freezable;)

I just made it today and YUMMY! (I'm a picky eater btw)

[Mags]

Kazz, there are some good pork chop recipes on here....

[dinahsmum]

Mmmmm Jeanette I love garlic! .........and we have paprika! It's traditionally Hungarian isn't it? The vital ingredient for goulash!
Will be giving the Garlic Soup a try once we've finished the Scotch Broth!

[Jeanette]

[Mags]

You're making me feel hungry Jeanette!!:-P

[Donna]

I am not a good cook at all I am afraid. The kids have their favourites and I am on a diet so not much help there!! Although Beef Stew and Dumplings has got to the be the ultimate winter warmer!!!

[Jeanette]

You're making me feel hungry Jeanette!!:-P

Sorry Mags:) but its really really good:D

[EmmaG]

I am not a good cook at all I am afraid. The kids have their favourites and I am on a diet so not much help there!! Although Beef Stew and Dumplings has got to the be the ultimate winter warmer!!!

Certainly is, and that is what we are having to eat tonight :-D although I am trying out a recipe for dumplings using olive oil instead of suet, it will give the other half something to moan about :roll: :-D

[Donna]

[EmmaG]

Will do Donna, wish me luck!!! lol

[Donna]

Lots of Luck Emma!!!! Hope you enjoy your dinner!

[EmmaG]

Ok Chef Emma reporting back :-D

The olive oil dumplings were VERY good!!!

Recipe is as follows

110g/4oz self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp water (approx to make a dough)
2 tbsp mixed herbs

Throw all ingredients into a bowl and mix :-D cook dumplings for about 45 mins until nice and brown ontop:D

Well I didn't bother to measure out anything and just thew it into a bowl, mixed it up and bunged them in the oven. That is my cooking style :roll: :-D

Other half wouldn't have known the difference if I hadn't of told him.

Don't forget you could put chili flakes in these to spice them up, also a bit of cheese might be nice as well.

[Mags]

Mmmmmm.... sounds delicious Emma!

[Fran]

Sounds lovely Emma!! will def give them a try sometime :D

[Donna]

Well done Emma!!

Sounds scrummy!!!!

Must get some ingredients and make a big stew!!

[dinahsmum]

Thanks for that Emma
I've often wondered if it was possible to use olive oil but never got past the wondering stage!
