Do you like 'a hearty stew'?

Joseanne

boeuf bourguignon every time, it's the sweet shallots.

Oh yes but it's a bit of a faff to make so only on rare occasions.
I used to make it occasionally in a very large French cast iron casserole dish in the oven but I've got to the stage where I could barely lift the pot without anything in it.

I've never made a hearty stew on the stove top, generally in the oven and more lately in the slow cooker.

Oh!

Frozen Tesco Shallots Peeled 350G!!

I got some frozen shallots and found they were too soft to slice when thawed so never again.

Okay, who’s going to post their favourite recipe for Welsh cawl? Welsh lamb stew you say, MrsKen33?
I’m drooling here and I like to learn from GN.

They need to be cooked whole in a boeuf bourguignon, fried first though, so I wondered if they'd work?

I put halved banana shallots in.

Here's one:

Not parsnips, though, the flavour is too strong
I like them but not in any stews or casseroles

I use banana shallots but leave them whole so they don't fall to bits.

Here's the Hairy Bikers' recipe, that's probably how I'd make it.
I saw them making this on their Food Tour of Britain.

Much the same here too, but a sprinkling of parsley. My mum used to make doughboys (?) suet dumplings to put on top.

Salmon and new potatoes for us too.

It's cooler but not hearty casserole weather yet!

Thank you Callistemon21. Much appreciated.

I love stews. Was only thinking today that a stew would be nice for today so maybe tomorrow instead.?

I hated school dinners but don't remember anything resembling a hearty stew.
My mother used to make delicious steak and kidney with dumplings and I enjoy a beef stew with lots of veg in nowadays, though I don't make it very often. I would call these hearty stews. As a child, it was always stew though the term casserole is more common now.

Elusivebutterfly hearty stews were so called because they used to be stewed in a saucepan on the hob on a low gas. Casseroles are done in the oven in a casserole dish.

Love, my favourite is venison in red wine.
Just delicious.

Love them, live on them in many various forms, including ones based entirely on vegetables.

Oh yes! My mum made amazing veg and dumpling stew.

Ooh, I love a good hearty stew, especially with dumplings (or doughballs as we call them). I probably make stews of various descriptions more often now that I can do them in a fraction of the time using my Ninja.

I wish you'd ask to have that post deleted * Urms*!!

I made one this weekend, but it's called beef chasseur. First made it in 1967.

That's not a hearty stew easybee. That's fantastic upmarket French food!

SIL makes an excellent goulash.
