Irish Stew.
It's winter time down here, and there is nothing better after a day of 5 deg C, 25 mph winds, than walking into the house to the smell of a stew that has been slowly cooking all day.
I just grab everything I can find in the fridge and throw it into a big pot with a heap of water and veges, toss in a lamb shank or two, or maybe some Ox tail.
Let it simmer and boil all day, and just keep adding stuff as you take servings out.
That is, I'll grab a bowl of stew, and I'll throw in another two potatoes, and maybe another onion and a few carrots or something, then top up the water, stir, and walk away.
If it starts to seem like vege soup, you just add more meat, any meat will do.
After about two or three days, you end up with a stew that has a bit of everything, and a GREAT flavour......the constant simmering prevents any nasty organisms growing, so before you ask, yes, three day old stew is perfectly safe to eat.
The best part is, it is made from stuff you allready have in your fridge and pantry, it is just a mix of everything, boiled stupid .....therefore, dirt cheap
Grab a bowl out and sit it in your fridge overnight, then serve on hot toast for breakfast.......bellisimo.
Apart from that....Steak,Lasagne, Roast beef, Corned beef, chicken and fish.
Oh and Doner Kebabs....reef n' beef thanks, chilli sauce, to go.
