On Thursday, I cooked a joint of roast beef with all the trimmings. Today I look at the contents of my fridge and realise where the ingredients for stew come from.

Recipe please? I'm a big fan of all stews, especially those vetted by friends :)

Well, the trimmings I'd done were roast potatoes and parsnips, glazed carrots and buttered leeks. Basically what I did was cube up all the pink meat from the left over beef (there was a lot of left over beef!) and dust that with flour, cinammon and nutmeg. Then I fryed that with a diced onion, added a pint of stock and a couple of tins of tomatoes, chucked in all the leftover veg plus a diced stick of celery, some new potatoes (there weren't many roasties left) and some mushrooms, seasoned with more cinnamon and nutmeg and stuck it in the oven on a low heat for about 3 hours. Very handy because it freed up a bunch of space in our fridge, although we *still* have leftover beef!
