Midweek meals

Today we're having a slow cooked beef casserole using shin of beef in brown ale with pearl barley.  We added some herbs, garlic, celery, leeks, carrot and onion. This morning I skimmed off the fat that had risen to the surface, and I doubt it will need any thickening agent, as the pearl barley has swollen nicely and acts as a thickener. It's now ready to heat through and serve later this evening - we're having some celeriac mash with ours.

Casseroles/stews are relatively low in calories and very filling. Slow cooking also helps tenderise the meat - especially the cheaper cuts. We usually add whatever vegetables we have to hand. Why not take a look at some of our favourite casserole recipes:

Lamb in red wine
Spicy tagine of lamb
Beef hotpot
Lazy beef curry

Our lunch is likely to be either a flaked salmon salad or sandwich.
