Sweet and Sour beef, creamy mashed spudsgood old comfort food for a rainy cold day..

tipsy_bl0nde, Mar 25, 7:01pm
do you happen to have a recipe for the sweet and sour beef? sounds delicious

fifie, Mar 25, 7:35pm
I make it in C/pot.
Sweet and Sour Beef.
Stewing steak cut into chunky pieces.
Flour, 2 tablespoons cooking oil.
1/2 cup malt vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon worcester sauce
S/Pepper, carrots diced ,1 onion sliced.
1/2-1 cup water.
Turn C/Pot on to heat put carrots on bottom.
Toss meat in flour and s/p to coat seal in a pan with the oil add onions, toss till starting tobrown up add to C'Pot.
Mix vinegar, sauce, brown sugar, water, pour over meat so meat is almost covered and cook. add little more water if you have to, lid on and cook. If a little thin thicken with cornflour mixed with water1/2-3/4 hr before serving, taste, add more seasoning if needed, serve with mashed potatoes and your fav vegs.I put this on about 11am if using old crockpot cook on high, if using slow cooker which is quicker and hotter, switch it to auto..

Pork & Leek Risotto for us :)

elliehen, Mar 25, 11:04pm
Nowadays, I cheat....from a packet called 'Orgran' Falafel Mix.It's gluten free, wheat free, dairy free, egg free, yeast free, soy free, nut free, vegan... and delicious!

I have no allergies or intolerances and can eat all of those things, but I just happen to like this mix, to which you just add water, wait 15 minutes, form into balls or patties and fry for acouple of minutes.They're great with tasty dipping sauces.

Its free range here - a couple of cooked chickens, salad, cheeses, fresh buns. The little kids are having cheesy pasta, chicken and salad. The big kids are all going out, and I imagine they will eat something greasy at 3am.

vintagekitty, Mar 25, 11:23pm
Ellie, that falafel mix is so nice, I tried it a couple of weeks ago.

tipsy_bl0nde, Mar 25, 11:36pm
wow i must try it. just googled the recipe and it sounds relatively simple but i think i may just try the mix you guys mentioned since you speak so highly of it and see how i go :)

dantes_auntie, Mar 25, 11:38pm
