"I spent all day chopping then up and putting them into cans," best line ever! Never understood the snobbishness surrounding canned or even frozen food
Well, she'd probably be snobby about certain canned foods, etc but with tomatoes (and many frozen vegetables), canned is often better. Unless they're in season and you have access to a good farmer's market or something.
It's not snobbishness, there are only a few exceptions where canned is equal or actually superior to the fresh versions. Even Gordon Ramsay and the best Italian chefs will use canned tomatoes because fresh tomatoes are usually picked unripe so they don't get damaged too much during transport.
Fresh ingredients are always best, it has nothing to do with "snobishness". You just can't always get good fresh ingredients, especially when it comes to tomatoes whivh can be quite superb out of a can when the alternative is bland hormone-sprayed cold-store ghastly tasteless tomatoes.
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can give me.
Love the difference between an ego-driven chef - "This is how it must be done" - and Ms Nigella: "Don't fret about teaspoons and carrots - it really doesn't matter!" Joy.
I have made this many, MANY times! My family loves it, company loves it, it's the best stew recipe ever! Can't always afford the lamb so I use roast beef and it just as good! Thank you so much for such a wonderful recipe!
Nigela, surely the finest female chef ever. cooks amazing down to earth food, looks stunning and has a fab sense of humour. OMG how lucky are her loved ones.
The fact that I didn't try this recipe before going vegetarian is honestly one of my biggest regrets, but I still come back to the video so often because I just love everything about it, from the recipe to Nigella's presentation.
That lamb stew is looking great and I would have left the carrots in the stew after it was cooked and let the ones eating it remove them if they wanted to. You are such a great chef and know how to please your audience and home guests with your many dishes.
At first I was thinking, "You can't take the carrots out; one of the best parts of a stew." Then I watched as she finished the carrots off and ate them as a cook's treat. Okay, I can go for that.
I love posh cooking just chucking everything together and then one plonks on a lid! I for one will wait for its delicious flavour while I go n get a cheeky triple cheeseburger from the McDonald's drive thru!
@@laurelthompson6167 haha, the impressive thing is she doesn't look much older now, especially since she got rid of the Saatchi muppet and got her life back.
No no there was still one carrot in the stew ... Come on Nigella I saw it all the way from Cape Town South Africa ... Joke aside this looks like a most divine dish and thank you for posting ...
@slasherflicks Supermarket battery chicken doesn't taste of anything, but good chicken is a world apart. Try getting some free-range organic chicken, and see if you can tell the difference.
Years ago I saw an episode of one of Nigel’s shows on the Foodnetwork and she made a pasta dish that was similar to pasta carbonara but it didn’t contain eggs. It was pancetta , linguini with some of the pasta water. The water and the oil that cooked out of the pancetta made the sauce. She said if you didn’t have pancetta you could use bacon. I used bacon. It was good and I hope she posts the video on here.
I'll do what you did with the carrots next time because I also don't like the look of carrots in my stew! Haha it looks very boarding-school-dining-hall-foodish lol!
Not that I'm Nigella but I have the recipe and have made it a few times. Salt the onion and celery mush when you throw it into your casserole (this helps reduce the possibility of it browning although when its mushed like this it is pretty low possibility anyway). Bear in mind, as the greek feta is quite salty check and see how the stew tastes before adding extra salt. As always it depends what type of salt as well. Koshering salt is generally less salty than table salt or sea salt so just keep tasting during the cooking with whatever salt you normally use and see how you feel with the taste.
geetac when you put wine in food, the alcoholic part evaporates (if that’s the issue you have), so the taste obviously changes too!! It adds flavour and makes food much tastier 😋 but if you really don’t want to buy wine then I suppose you could skip it, just know the flavour is going to be more bland and lacking in depth
Beautiful Nigella, you should have millions of subscribers. Sincerely hope you get back on TV, though stop the camera guy whizzing in and out makes my head spin.
