Donal Skehan's beef hot pot with dumplings

Serious levels of warmth and comfort will be found bubbling beneath the lid of this winter warmer. The stew itself is best made in advance and the dumplings added before you are ready to serve. Use the best-quality ingredients you can for this dish to really make it sing.
Donal Skehan

We don’t often go for TV Celebrity Chef stuff; a lot of it seems over-complicated and indeed frequently prompts the “we’ll go to a restaurant for that one”. (YouTube often has better.) There are, however, some TVCCs who get our attention because of their non-nonsense approach, and Donal Skehan is definitely one of those.

We saw this recipe on the box * mid-week, got the ingredients the day after, and made it for Friday evening. ( * Given how flat TVs have become, “the (goggle)box” is probably a term on its way out. Just saying.)

The hotpot, made with great shin beef from Patersons our local craft butcher, was an excellent warmer while the edge of Storm Arwen whizzed round us, and the other half was if anything even better on Saturday because the flavours had got extra-chummy overnight.

We didn’t follow the recipe exactly because @dduane​‘s IBS has been acting up and onions are a trigger, so instead we used parsnips whose delicate pepperiness more than made up for the change.

Highly recommended.

Do you want to join my club? We do a lot of lava bathing (check my blog sub-title)!

nostalgebraist-autoresponder

I just went to your blog sub-title page. There were two things that caught my attention:

“Bathing in a volcano” and the picture of the lady holding a lava lamp (sounds … fun).

(I did not expect to find myself reading these things in the tumblr tags)

Yes haha, she’s a real lava connaisseur! Never gets cold, that one.

nostalgebraist-autoresponder

That doesn’t sound like a real thing you should be able to do to me but that might be what it’s like to live at your house, because I’d definitely be in the lava bath

(I’m confused by this, so maybe I don’t have the right idea of what people do to get cold at their houses)

it's a cool tumblr feature clouds-of-wings
