Hi there, thank you very much for that. I was looking for a meaty stew recipe to help me get through the xmas months, and this sounds perfect. I found an entire stew recipes site here too that seems to have loads of good stuff, maybe your readers can get some more inspiration there. Anyway, thanks, I will bookmark and read more another time ;)

K8, I cooked the stew as per your recipe, with the only modification of using tomato and hot pepper paste instead of ketchup, and it was so so so good. Thank you! Do you have any more recipes you could share perhaps? :)

that was not half bad. i did, indeed, add some good red. and i spiced it up a bit to suit the hew and cry of the Astas, but well done, well done.

I like the idea of more chillies. I grew up in a plain ol’ meat n potatoes house. White pepper was as adventurous as we got. I now can’t get enough of the hot n’ spicy stuff. I got my hands on some Bolivian peppers yesterday and its going to be hot in here!

Kelly; It’ll warm your cockles if you’re that way inclined… hey it’s nearly summer there though. Bee-otch!

The Chris D; I was hoping someone would ask that. For proper K8 style stew, leave it to simmer for the same amount of time, but add a further 2 chillis/1 tsp chilli seeds about an hour before the end. Serve sprinkled with lime-juice, and maybe some Greek yoghurt/Creme Fraiche/Natural yoghurt, in case things get out of hand.

Lottie; It might be the sundried tomatoes… they’re a great beefer-upper. Chilli rocks though. If I had my way there’d be chilli ice-cream!

Baino; Another summer bee-otch!!! That’s it. I’m coming over there to pitch a tent in someone’s garden. Will several packets of Taytos be enough to pay the rent?

Now I wish you’d posted this a couple of months ago! Getting a bit warm for stew in these parts! Sounds uber tasty petal. You forgot to mention not to pick your nose after cutting the chillies.

Sounds delicious! I think stew can be a bit bland but this might spice things up nicely. Thanks K8 Sunday lunch sorted.

I personally prefer more sting, so don’t leave it to simmer for as long?
