This is so yummy, definitely one I will be making again ?
Can i leave yhe vinegar out ?
I liked this but found the gravy too strong, next time I might leave out the vinegar and see how it goes.
Can white vinegar be used instead of brown vinegar?
I would yes 🙂
What would be equivalent to use if you haven’t got stock powder eg if using beef liquid stock how much would you use?
I would swap out the cup of water and stock powder for the liquid stock myself
But it could still do with another 1-2 stock cubed etc crumbled into that because the 2 dessert spoons would be stronger than just one cup of the liquid stock
Thanks Pauline, I used an extra stock cube along with the cup of liquid beef stock, fingers crossed
Bloody beautiful !!
I am forced to cook these days after the death of my wife. My son found this recipe and we found this dish excellent. It was easy to prepare too.
Awwww :/ Good on you Bill! I’m so glad you are finding this helpful xx
This is the so easy and yum. I used one tin of tomato soup tin instead of the tomato sauce. It was simple and tasty, easy to prepare. The kids and hubby gobbled it down.
This was really yummy. Substituted the tomato’s for a can of chopped tomatoes and put in just under 1/4 cup of malt vinegar. But will definitely be making again!!
is that 3hrs on high or low?
High as it states Derrick 🙂
I made this over the weekend. I halved the Worcestershire sauce and vinegar and left out the chilli to tone the flavours down a bit and it quite nice.
I accidentally put the cornflour in from the beginning but it didn’t seem to make much difference as the sauce was still very thin.
Use balsamic vinegar instead of malt vinegar. Malt vinegar is way to strong for a lovely recipe .
I made this today for tonight’s tea and it was delicious. I swapped the tomatoes for a tin of diced ones, and the malt vinegar for balsamic and a tablespoon of stock powder. I used dried chilli flakes and a tin of small potatoes. Cooked on high for about 2 h and low for the rest of the afternoon. Thank you for the recipe.
I halfed the recipe and used some mushrooms as well. Also added some balsamicand a drop of port.
We love our lamb, and this was very, very tasty! The family loved it. Just one thing, I’m an asthmatic and the vinegar triggered a very slight asthma attack that was easily relieved with my inhaler. I think next time I make this I’ll use less or no vinegar and possibly tomato paste instead of tomato sauce. We like our casseroles nice and thick and this was a little liquidy, so after the cornflour, I threw in two handfuls of uncooked rice and cooked it a further 45 mins to help with the thickening. Thanks for the recipe!
I cooked this tonight and it was absolutely delicious!! Reminded me of the chop stew that my Mum made growing up.
Yummy. I used 6 lamb shanks for this recipe. I blitzed the sauce after draining & allowing to split before adding back to warm through.
Cooked this one with BBQ Lamb chops
No added water at all
6hrs low
In the end I removed the lamb (and deboned) while I reduced the gravy on stove top with 2Tblsp gravy powder to thicken
With so much onion and tomato it was a chunky veg packed sauce (not like the smooth sauce pictured) but still very tasty and enjoyed by the family 🙂
Changed the recipe slightly used 1 can of crushed tomatoes instead of slices of tomato added balsamic vinegar instead of brown vinegar not so strong left out cold water added 1cup of beef stock and two dessert spoons of beef powder and 1 teaspoon of chilli paste instead rest of recipe same very yummy
