What's your favourite winter meal?

I LOVE WINTER, and LOVE the food that goes with the season too

Sitting here quite hungry and feel like something warm and wintery - it's so hard to narrow down a favourite wintery food but I have to say since being in the UK I have become quite partial to sausage and mash with oodles of gravy

What's your favourite winter meal?

And if you think you make the best ever then a recipe would be great too

Thanks

Scouse, with beetroot n crusty bread

1-2lb stewing meat, lots of spuds, peeled & cut into large chunks, 3 sliced carrots.

In a large pan, brown the stewing meat, then the carrots. Add enough water to cover then add the spuds, you need to have enough water to cover everything but with no gaps in the water, add some gravy browning & wuster sce salt n pepper. Bring to boil then lower to a simmer & cook gently, covered, for couple of hours. Or cook it in a pressure cooker

Can`t give exact amounts, depends how many its for etc, but the spuds fall apart & thickens it so you need a fair few. mmmmmmm its yummy

ps if you like onions you can add them as well

OOh, one of my faves is Lamb Rattatouille:
1 shoulder of lamb removed from bone and browned in a lttle oil
1 large onion sliced and browned in same oil
1 aubergine
2 courgettes
1 red pepper
1 pint lamb stock
Mushrooms
1 can tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 pack new potatoes

Basically brown meat, then onion, then slice everything else except potatoes and add to large stock pot. Add toms, stock and new pots and basil and cook either in oven at 180deg or on hob on a slow simmer for 2 hours at least but until you can't stand the smell any more and you are totally starving, then scoff the lot

Ohhh....Stew and Dumplings, and something my Mum makes better than me...Potatoes bacon and onion!
