An easy make-ahead dish, good enough for a dinner party. Tender chicken thighs baked with sherry, garlic and tomato sauce. Nice served with buttered rice and French green beans.
A delicious simple soup without too much heat, excellent as a wintery starter to a dinner party. The spice works wonderfully with the sweetness of the parsnips. Serve with crusty white bread.
This is simply gorgeous because it's so comforting! Preparation is easy, too! The lamb shanks are slow-cooked in a generous amount of red wine. This is best served with the sauce juices poured over mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, risotto or even soft polenta.
This pie is ABSOLUTELY the best meat pie I have ever had in my life! This recipe was found whilst I was on the train and found that somebody left it on the seat. So I took it. Then I made it. Thank you to who ever left it on the train! Sometimes, I just make the stew and serve with mashed spuds.
Tender braising steak, baked for 1 1/2 hours in a low oven. Make ahead if desired and re-heat for an even easier supper dish. I have served them with homemade French fries and broccoli.
