King of the jungle, Christopher Biggins's unapologetically simple name for his main suggests a hearty winter warmer free of frills. But will his Come Dine With Me Celebrity Special guests be expecting something more dressed up?
Serves 6 Ingredients
1. Preheat oven to 160ºC/gas mark 3. Melt 25g of the butter with the oil in a large, flame-proof casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until its fat turns golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and put on a plate. 2. Wipe the beef dry with kitchen towel. Fry the beef in the same pan in batches until browned on all sides, turning with tongs. Don't add too many pieces at a time or the beef will steam instead of sear. Transfer the meat to a plate as it is browned. 3. Tip the onions and carrots into the casserole and cook until softened and slightly golden, stirring regularly. Return the beef and bacon and sprinkle with the flour, turning all the meat to lightly coat. 4. Pour over the wine and stock. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic and herbs. Bring to a simmer on top of the hob. Cover with a lid and cook for 2½-3 hours or until the meat is very tender. Remove the lid every hour and stir the meat, checking for tenderness after 2 ½ hours. 5. Melt the remaining butter in a small frying pan and fry the mushrooms until golden. Stir the mushrooms into the stew about 15 minutes before the end of cooking time and return to the oven. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve.

Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.

I watched Christopher Biggins last week on Come Dine With Me and thought his Winter Stew looked great. I stupidly thought I would check out the 4 comments first to see if anyone else has made it and to see their opinions.

The Louis Vuitton piece is sure to make an impression on any travel mates you may have or even just to those sitting next to you in the airport, awaiting their flight.

I meet a friend in the weekday ,in the county of Cumberland, where I applied my mind with as much diligence as I could. although I see they are serious, serious, strong, worship, can I put few in that time, from their own way or can theory; I only take them to do an honest, naive, significance and sweet.
