Sunday stew day.

Every Sunday rather than making a big roast dinner , should be the day where you get a big pot, hot water stock and use up all the bits of vegetables and meat the left overs and odds and ends from the cupboards.

Use the Sunday stew for using up those few potatoes and bit of chicken and carrots that have been in the fridge for a few days.

The stew on a Sunday lasts all day and is a great way to clear out, before going shopping and buying fresh food for the week.

A stew is warming and hearty, and comprises all the parts of a Sunday lunch with very little effort, just chop the veg and trim the meat, add hot water and stock , season with salt and pepper and simmer for 1 hour.

Easy to make and healthy, the combinations of a good stew are always different
