Ethiopian Lentil Stew (Ye Misr Wot)
This my favourite Ethiopian dish, very simple to make and very warming. Can be made as spicy as you like. Usually served with fermented injera bread but tastes just as good with some fluffy rice or flatbread. The key that provides the distinctive flavour is the berbere spice mix which I think can be found in Waitrose. It's a traditional Ethiopian spice mix with lots of flavour and heat. #WorldPulseDay

Beef stew Beef stew
I must admit this recipe is really for a beef pie, but the insides where so good, why not just have the insides!! I think it qualifies for stew!! You can cook the first part in a skillet but you do need a Dutch oven to complete it. It is rather fiddly to make but I guarantee you'll be happy with the results. Props to my hubby as well for the photography as usual!!

Wanted to make a quick meal for lunch. I used the smaller potatoes because I could not find new potatoes with plenty of flavour (e.g. Jersey Royals, Maris Piper, or Nicola). Did not take a full 1 hour to make. The key is multi-tasking.
