your Mums Know Best recipie.

[Hurricane Puffrose]

Hairy Bikers have done Mums Know best (what about the single dads that's what I say) which got me thinking.

If Si and Dave came calling what would you make?

One of mine would be Oxtail Stew


Oxtail Stew

You will need
Oxtail (duh)
Salt
Celery
Leeks
Carrot
Parsnips
Potatoes
Stock pot (knoor)
Pepper (black and white)
Chilli flakes
Cumin
Onions
In a good knob of butter fry off your onion first, then add your celery and carrots and begin to soften. Add in your stock pot and oxtail, sprinkle about a cap full of chilli flakes, a good grind of black pepper and some salt to taste, stir and then cover with water.
Cover and Allow to cook on a medium heat for about an hour, checking the water, then add your parsnips and leeks, cover and leave for about another hour, checking the water every half hour or so. Add another stock pot salt and more pepper to taste and a good few spoons of cumin. Add your potatoes and leave for about 45mins. Serve.

The longer you cook it, the better it tastes!!

Re: your Mums Know Best recipie.

My much lamented darling Duchess (as the Inca Muv was known) had the very best solution to all culinary delights and kept her chicks well fed......she taught us all to cook young,,or rather she taught us how NOT to cook,,and we did the opposite of everything she did.....bless her cotton socks,she was a great 'basic' cook,but unless it half a pound of Saxa salt in and needed to be drowned in lard,it wasn't Lilly's.
Y'all know my trade was cheffing,,so good ole Aunty Incs has taught copious nieces,nephews,cousins etc how NOT to poison people (unless intentionally).
