Winter cooking

[Pete Tong]

Currently making a big pot of scotch broth with lamb flank. My favourite meal ever!
It takes 6 hours to make but it's worth the effort.
What meals do you all make when the weather hits freezing?

Soup season for me!!

Haddock(or whatever fish you can find/get), leek & potato soup
Chicken and bacon
Scotch broth
Smoked ham hock + veg

Lobby.

Beef in stout is always a good option.
I do a Portuguese inspired stew where I stew sausage, chicken joints and ham in a stock and vegetables then finish with white beams and finely sliced cabbage.

But scotch broth with lamb flank sounds good.

I buy venison/beef and a big bone full of marrowfat whole onions, good stock an ale, round up the veg sitting there waiting to be cooked and throw in the pressure cooker.

Coffee in the evening! Are you continental or some sort of jacked up caffeine fiend?

Have you ever considered drinking cocoa like a good gentleman?

It's a surprisingly good time to crack out the barbecue.
Open fire cooking also works well for the potjie/dutch oven recipes. Pork & beans is a nice easy one.
Basically anything involving standing around by a big heat source.

sometimes i have a cocoa, with a drop of Irish cream in it, to warm my cockles. but its a bit too sweet to drink regularly.

Beef & veg casserole in a red wine gravy, in a big yorkshire pudding and mash. If I feel futuristic, I add some garlic baguette on the side.
