My Stew - Recipe

As usual I wing it, but this is what I put in it so I can make it again. It turned out really nicely.

• handful of pinto and black eyed beans, left to soak for 12 hours
• tin of peeled tomatoes
• a leek
• bit of butter
• diced beef
• handful of lentils
• two vegetable stock cubes
• about a mug of boiled water
• couple of potatoes

Method:

• lightly fry the beef on a high temperature to lock in flavour, i added quite a bit of pepper.
• fry chopped up leek in butter
• once soft, add tin of peeled tomatoes and the beef
• add vegetable stock cubes and leave it for a few minutes
• add beans, lentils, potatoes
• pour in the hot water
• boil hard for 20 minutes to make sure the beans are not going to make you ill
• simmer for 40 minutes or more until everything is soft and delicious.
• add a bit less than a teaspoon of salt

I don't actually know what I am doing but it tastes nice.
