Green Bean Stew




Stews are perfect for cold nights, and super easy to make.

Ingredients :

Stewing steak (or any meat you prefer), cut into bite-sized pieces
Stock Block (I use Imana super stock, Garden Vegetable cube)
1 Onion
Green Beans (either fresh or tinned)
Crushed garlic
2 potatoes cut into small chunks

Chop onion finely and put into pot. Then add some crushed garlic and the stock cube.

Add a little water, cooking until onion becomes soft.

Then add your meat and cover the meat with water. Close with lid.

Keep watching your meat, and if the meat is not cooked yet, keep adding water. Keep doing this until your meat is nice and soft and cooked through.

Meanwhile, if you are using fresh green beans, I like to par-boil them in the microwave for about 5 mins.

Once this is done, add to the pot. If its tinned, add to the pot straight from the tin after draining the water in the tin.

Mix everything in the pot. Then add your potatoes to the pot and close lid, cooking until potatoes are soft.

Once the potatoes are soft, you can then add salt or pepper. Taste first as the stock cube gives loads of flavour. Then let the pot simmer for about a half hour at least on 1 and then serve with white rice.
