Only one thing to do hanging around the house feeling sick and sorry for myself (a bit bluesy today).
OTHER THAN BAKING OF COURSE!
COOK!
Tonight for dinner I attempted, for the first time, a vegetarian Lancashire hotpot...a stew topped with sliced potatoes and broiled...I adapted a version of butternut and swede stew with dumplings that I had seen in a magazine during the week by adding more vegetables and a itty bitty bit of red wine..oh and foregoing the dumplings by creating a Lancashire hot pot instead.
The finished product was tasty. Next time I will omitt the parsnip though. I am not a fan, it just tastes a bit ICKY to me...personal opinion...but I added them into my stew to TRY them again...ewwww no no no no...sorry, I just couldn't do it. I ate ONE...and left the rest on the side of my plate.
This dish looks incredibly tasty, a wonderful presentation, Victoria!!!
ReplyDeleteI am curious about this dish, I never heard about it!
I always learn something new with you, you're my first resource for vegetarian cooking!;)
Love,

I must say that looks so good! Love one pot meals and vegetarian on top of that.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day.
Thank you.

Annalisa...I'd never heard of this dish before I moved to the UK...it is basically a stew cooked completely then covered in parboiled sliced potatoes and put under the broiler. It is a nice change from shepheards pie, or a pastry topping. :) Thanks for stopping by as always!
ReplyDeleteSage...Rita, one pot meals, especially slow cooked ones are so comforting! :)
