Or replace the rice with mash, and the stew with mince and dumplings.. I was only asking for some secret little tips, not a whole change off menu.
So that Stew looks like mince and dumplings? I'm confused now. I was looking for some secret little tips like hoy in some worcester sauce etc.
The pic I posted is not mine but it is just a simple savoury beef mince stew with a little veg, it even has mushrooms hoyed in it. Personally I also wouldn't have chosen rice either, maybe mash or polenta but demo would have included dumplings.
a small spoonful of ground cumin, Marmite, mustard, thyme, celery, marjoram, sage, rosemary, oregano, garlic. Any of the above would help.
How about you buy a dozen condoms, stuff the mince inside them with some breadcrumbs, tie the ends up. Voila - sausages again.
