All I did was add some oil and butter to a pan and cooked finely chopped onion, carrot and celery. I then added the turkey steaks which I had cubed and let them brown after which I added about a spoonful of flour and stirred to coat the stuff in the pan. Made some chicken stock which I then added and let it bubble away slowly. I chopped up some orange and red pepper and added to the pan. The whole thing was then put in the oven to stew. Meanwhile I cooked some mushrooms with parsley and garlic. Top Tip! I like to cook my mushrooms separately and add at the last minute - that way they keep a lot of their size and flavour. When the stew was ready I took it from the oven, added a good wedge of cream cheese and stirred through, then added the mushrooms and some frozen peas. After that I just let it warm through on the hob. (Foodie Bloggers be aware that you have nothing to fear from Shortbread & Ginger's meal posts - I don't know all the jargon and I rarely weigh anything!)
The perfect accompaniment - a recipe I had seen earlier on TV. I don't usually watch daytime TV, but it was such a rotten day, I decided to give it a go. I discovered "The Pioneer Woman" on the Food Network channel. Ree had made some breakfast potatoes to feed her hungry family who were out on the ranch, working with the cattle. I omitted the peppers, since I had already put some in the stew. They turned out great! The Pioneer Woman has a great web site with lots of fabulous recipes.
Hubby's verdict on the last minute meal - said he'd have it again anytime! So that's something else to add to my easy mid-week meal collection. Next time I might make dumplings with it!
Of course a little bit of vintage crockery does not go amiss!
Love, Liz

It's tea in the North East of England too - and that tea looks delicious. I often prefer this type of make-it-up-as-you-go cooking the only problem is I can rarely remember what I did so it can be difficult to replicate it. (One advantage of posting it on the blog is being able to record how you made it!0 XXX
