Roast Potato Stew

1 January 2022 by Dominic Franks

Roast Potato Stew

A hearty stew is just what we need to see in the new year and this roast potato stew made with mixed vegetables and a crunchy potato top is perfect.  I’m finally using up all of the extra veg from Christmas plus the crusty, herby potato top is a little indulgent treat that will keep the family coming back for more.

reducing food waste

It’s amazing how long vegetables can keep for if they’re stored properly.  I keep my potatoes in the coldest spot in the house but all the other veg (apart from the onions) go into the fridge.  The cabbage was bought before Christmas as well as the parsnips and swede and they’re all fine.  I’m definitely going to try and use up all my food this year and try not to chuck too much stuff away.

Roast Potato Stew

It’s a nice, hearty chunky stew, so keep the vegetables roughly chopped in larger chunks.

  • 4 or 5 maris piper potatoes – peeled and roughly chopped
  • mixed herbs – chopped, I used rosemary and thyme
  • 1 red onion – roughly chopped
  • 2 carrots – roughly chopped
  • 1/2 swede – roughly chopped
  • 1 parsnip – roughly chopped
  • one large teaspoon plain flour
  • 1 litre good quality vegetable stock (made up of half water and half white wine)
  • one teaspoon yeast extract (such a marmite)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup – I’m using this amazing festive tomato ketchup with winterberries from Sainsbury’s
  • 1 teaspoon

Let’s start with the crunchy potato top. Pour a little olive oil into a large roasting dish and pop it in the oven set to 220c for 6 mins.

for the potatoes

Place the potatoes into some boiling water and par- boil for 6 mins until they just begin to soften. Drain them well, then add a few glugs of olive oil, a teaspoon of mixed dried herbs and some salt and pepper. Place a lid on the pan and bash the pan vigorously a few times. This will allow the potatoes to get lovely fluffy edges which will make them nice and crispy.

Carefully remove the hot roasting pan from the oven and pour the fluffy potatoes into the oil. Place the pan back into the oven for at least 30 mins whilst you make the stew.

for the stew

For the stew I’m using my 32cm shallow cast iron pan with a lid. I place it on a medium heat and add some olive oil and butter and once they’ve melted I add the onion, carrots, celery and fennel and let them sauté for about 6 mins.

Then I add the Swede and parsnips along with some garlic and fresh herbs. I stir the whole thing a few times then place the lid on and let the veg sweat for 10 mins.

Next stir in some flour, then pour in the stock and let it bubble away for about 5 mins so the stew thickens.  Add the cabbage on top, place the lid on and let it gently stew for about 15 mins.

By this time your roasties should be on their way to golden and crispy.  Take them out of the oven and place them on top of the stew, then place the stew back in the oven with the lid off and let the whole thing bubble away for another 15 mins until the top is nice and crispy and the stew is thick and unctuous.

Tomato, Feta and Strawberry Salad with my Slightly Tomato, Feta and Strawberry Salad with my Slightly Pickled Pink Onions

I wanted to share the pics of this salad the moment I made it cos it’s just so vibrant and summery. 

The real star of the show are the amazing slightly pickled pink onions… but… (and I hate to be a tease) you’ll have to wait till next week for the recipe!

Apricot & Strawberry Frangipani Pudding (recipe be Apricot & Strawberry Frangipani Pudding (recipe below)

This pudding is like a bowlful of summer. It’s light and fruity and sweet and so easy to put together.  I think it’s also quite unexpected to serve a pudding when fresh fruit is in abundance and a simple fruit salad would suffice but that’s what I adore about this.  Plus, this pudding makes very good use of those punnet’s of strawberries that look great in the supermarket but in fact taste all spongy and gloopy when you get them home.

Here’s the #recipe:

🍓 200g butter
🍓 200g golden caster sugar
🍓 3 large free-range eggs
🍓 200g ground almonds
🍓 100g strawberries – quartered
🍓 4 apricots – sliced into wedges
🍓 the finely grated zest and juice of half a lemon
🍓 2 tablespoons @fage_uk Greek Yoghurt
🍓 1 teaspoon @little_pod Vanilla Bean Paste

I greased a 20cm fluted ceramic pie dish and pre-heated the oven to 160C

beat the sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light and creamy… a stand mixer will do this in 4 minutes, a hand held electric whisk will do it in 6 minutes and a wooden spoon will do it in 8 minutes.

add the eggs and 1 tablespoon of ground almonds and beat in, then add the rest of the ground almonds and gently beat in, followed by the Greek Yoghurt, lemon zest and juice, vanilla and half the strawberries and beat in – the strawberries will become mush – which is exactly what you want.

lay half the remaining fruit into the bottom of your dish and cover with the frangipane batter, then scatter the remaining fruit on top

bake for 45 mins or until darkly golden brown, then remove from the oven and let it cool to set

Potato Kugel Traybake with Poached Eggs and Mushro Potato Kugel Traybake with Poached Eggs and Mushrooms

Is there anything more ‘Sunday Brunch’ than a crispy rosti with a delicately fragile poached egg on top? This Traybake rosti is a twist on a Jewish potato cake made with potatoes, carrots and onion. It’s amazing and really does make the perfect brunch. 

What are you having for brunch today?

for the kugel:
🍳 5 medium potatoes
🍳 2 large onions
🍳 2 large carrots – roughly grated
🍳 2 eggs – beaten
🍳 2 tablespoons flour
🍳 salt and pepper
🍳 a large handful of fresh rosemary
🍳 2 tablespoons of olive oil

for the poached eggs:
🥚 2 eggs per person
🥚 water
🥚 salt
🥚 a ramekin or similar

pre-heat the oven to 180C and butter your baking tin… i’m using an oblong swiss roll tin but any metal pan will do, a quiche or tarte tin is good.  Earthenware will work too but there’s something about the metal tin that makes it more ‘roasty’

Cut the potatoes and carrots into large chunks and par-boil till just beginning to yeald, drain and place in the fridge for one hour.  I usually do mine the night before.

Once the potatoes and carrots are cold, grate them and add them with the rest if the ingredients to a large bowl and mix together well.

Tip into your cake tin or roasting tray and roast in the oven on 190C till golden and grisp around the edges, roughly 40 mins

To make the poached eggs I prefer to use my large shallow cast-iron casserole dish.  There’s something about the cast-iron that holds the heat and cooks them evenly.  Fill the pan with water and heat it till it’s rapidly boiling, then turn down the heat until it is just steaming. 

Once it’s steadily hot with no bubbles lower the eggs into the hot water and leave them alone at this exact heat.  They should take about 5 minutes to become perfect with soft yolks but feel free to go until you like them.
