Rabbit Stew
April 10, 2010 By 5 Comments
This is a dish I created on Easter Sunday and twittered that I had cooked "el conejo de pascua" (thats the Easter Bunny to you...) Some found it funny whilst others seemed to take a huge amount of offence... But life goes on! Back to the stew, it was absolutely delicious - despite the fact that it was my usual bung everything in and hope for the best. Actually, truth be told, I think once you have an understanding of flavours and what works you can make dishes up on the fly like that - and … [Read more...]
Olla Gitana (Gypsy Soup)
January 18, 2010 By 2 Comments
Olla Gitana is a typical soup of Murcia in the South East of Spain. Its combination of ingredients makes it practically a meal in its own right - and it is absolutely delicious and extremely filling. It can be served with or without the addition of pork - and although many of the more traditional ingredients rule out this rich stew for vegetarians - with some careful fiddling it could be made suitable. Packed with beans and vegetables it is truly one of the best spanish stews / soups I have … [Read more...]
Winter warming lamb stew
December 18, 2009 By 2 Comments
Feeling the cold this winter? Are you like thousands of Brits and completely snowed in? If so, then this is most certainly a recipe for you! I love a lamb hotpot when the winters start to really set in. Of course my family have always traditionally served this with Yorkshire Pudding, but these days I find it far too heavy and tend not to combine the two. It is lovely with a great chunk of homemade bread. Incidentally this is also my first entry written with Windows Live Writer. I will let you … [Read more...]

Yorkshire Dumplings & Stew
July 20, 2008 By 1 Comment
This is not a recipe for Southern Spain in June, it is simply far too hot, but I do enjoy the odd meal of my favourite “comfort food”, which is usually similar to the dinners cooked by my mother. 50 grams of self raising flour 1/2 tsp baking powder A little freshly ground black pepper 25 grams of vegetable suet 1 tsp of mixed dried herbs (I prefer plain dumplings, so this is optional) Very cold water Sift the flour, baking powder and black pepper into a baking large bowl, add the … [Read more...]
