Introduction:  I have put this recipe in here although its hardly a recipe – more of a cooking idea.  It’s a one pot dish, cooked in the oven ideal to prepare in bulk and then freeze or refrigerate portions to have ready when needed.  Beef is used here – so use only the leanest stewing/casserole beef and only have once or twice a week – keep extra portions in freezer to use a over a number of weeks.  Could also use chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces.

Ingredients: ( 5-6 servings)

1Kg lean casserole/stewing beef cut into 1/1.5” pieces
2 large onions, sliced or about 10 shallots
3-4 large carrots
2 courgettes (zucchini)
2 large sweet potatoes if using for carb meals
Other green veg such as green beans
Beef or vegetable stock to cover

Seasoning Options:

2-3 garlic cloves, chopped or crushed
1.5 teaspoon each of ground turmeric, cumin and coriander
And or 2 teaspoon curry powder
OR
Mixed dried herbs
OR
Chilli powder or cayenne pepper, ground or fresh ginger

NOTE: These ingredients are suggestions – experiment using different veg options and different seasoning.  This is a guide only to how to make your diet more interesting.
