Hiya

I want to make a stew for a green day, however when I have attempted it in the past it just ends up like a veggie soup! I use

potato
onion
sweet potato
swede
carrots
leek
veggie stock cube
salt n pepper

Anyone got an idea how to make it more stew like and interesting as the kids haven't been impressed! Cheers
 
I would put a tin if tomatoes in and herbs, if you have a slow cooker put it in for about 4 hours as it doesn't need as long as meat. Maybe add some pearl barley, or tinned beans ie kidney, cannelloni.
Hope that helps
 
Ooh thank you both :) I've got tinned toms and beans so I'll try that and will get some pearl barley too. Not had bovril in years, will marmite work as a substitute as that's in the cupboard or not?
 
I'm not sure marmite would work but if you are liberal with the herbs and if you have it Worcester sauce as well you won't need it
 
Really well! I added tinned sweetcorn too, just because I noticed it in the cupboard so thought I'd try it and then thought maybe it was a bad idea (immediately after I'd done it lol!) but it actually came out lovely! I'm having the left overs for tonights tea :)
