Beef stew and Yorkshire pudding

Got inspired after watching Nigella's cooking show on tv last night. So we had beef stew (modified from her lamb stew) which had feta cheese and mint leaves sprinkled on it - lovely comfort food!!

recipe as below:

Brown meat in oil
Blend:
Celery (3 – 4 sticks)
Onion – 1 big
Garlic 4 cloves
Pour celery/onion mixture into the oil
Saute till soft
Take ½ out, put beef in, pour back the ½
Add bay leaves (about 3 – 4) + 1teaspoon oregano powder
Add carrot – chopped into ¼
2 cans chopped tomato
water
leave 2 hours
add some macaroni
serve with feta cheese / bay leaves (used mint)
Then had yorkshire pudding (as in for a sweet dessert rather than with roast beef). Ate it as soon as it came out of the oven - with cream and honey - hmmmmmmm yummmy. Oooh, dah kenyang....


recipe for Yorkshire pudding:

Heat oven 425
Put pan into oven (with about 3 mm of oil/fat in it)

4 eggs + 350 mls milk – blend and let rest for 15 min.
add flour 1 ½ cups
blend together

pour into hot pan
bake 20 – 25 min

eat when still hot (immediately out of oven!) with cream and honey
