I spent an day looking after a family members home while workmen were there to install a new security entranceway (they are away on holiday) so to keep me busy I decided to go through their cookbooks looking for some recipes to post on 'zaar. Ingredients:
1 kg shin beef, cut into large chunks |
100 g bacon, roughly chopped |
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped |
2 medium onions, peeled and chopped |
2 celery ribs, washed and chopped |
1 cup tomato puree (or 2 t gently fried tomato paste) |
1 -2 star anise |
1 piece orange rind (use a potato peeler, wide strip) |
1 small cinnamon stick |
1 bay leaf |
2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped |
2 turnips or 2 swedes, peeled and chopped |
Directions:
1. Perheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Throw all the ingredients into a really big casserole. Add enough water to cover (about 1 litre or a little less should be right) and about 2 teaspoons salt.
3. Turn the oven down to 160C, pop the lid on the casserole and cook for about 3 hours or so. (Much of this time - about 1 hour - the casserole is coming up to heat so to speed things up you can bring it to a simmer on the stove in a flame proof dish).
4. Check for salt, add a few grinds of black pepper and serve.
