Ingredients
- 1kg boneless stewing beef (cubed)
- 900g butternut squash (500g net weight)
- 800g swede (500g net weight)
- 100g frozen garden peas
- 1 small shallot (minced)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 45g (3 tbsp) ghee or butter
- 2 tsp coarse Himalayan pink salt
- 1 tsp organic broth granules
- 150g tomato passata (sieved tomatoes)
- 30g tomato purée double concentrate
- 2 tsp herbes de provance
- a sprinkle of chilli powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- a sprinkle of cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- water
Instructions
- using a large heavy-base pot, melt ghee or butter over high heat.
- add beef and brown on all sides.
- add all ingredients except veggies, plus enough water to just about cover the meat.
- stir, cover with lid and turn heat down to minimum.
- simmer for 45 minutes.
- top and tail butternut squash, then peel, core and cut into cubes about 3cm square.
- peel swede (see post above for my method) and cut into cubes about 2cm square.
- add cubed veggies to meat, plus 400ml water.
- stir, bring back to the boil, then reduce heat to minimum and let simmer for another 30 minutes.
- add frozen peas, stir and simmer for a further 15 mins.
- remove lid, stir, taste and adjust seasoning if required.
- continue to cook, uncovered, for another 10-20 mins - the butternut squash should have turned to mash, making the cooking juice thick but not dry.
- rest for 5 minutes and serve.
Notes
This actually tastes better the next day...if you can resist temptation, that is.
Freeze unused portions and enjoy it later.
Metric kitchen scales are an inexpensive yet invaluable gadget to enable accurate measurement of ingredients. Store them upright in a cupboard or over your worktop and they'll only take up a tiny bit of space. Click HERE for the ones I use.
