As a busy working mum I definitely opt for quick and easy dinners when I can, without compromising on taste of course, so I get more time to put my feet up and catch up with the Mini Mes after school. Red Tractor have a new #LivePeasant initiative which encourages home cooks, like myself, to embrace simple and rustic meals for the family. It's a great way to boost your lamb and beef intake with minimal effort so I was eager to be involved and put a recipe or two to the test.
Stews and casseroles are a favourite of ours and universally one of the most traditional methods of cooking, so I decided to give the Slow Cooked Beef with Gnocchi a go first. It's something that is ideal for a pro or a novice in the kitchen to try and as it is cooked over a few hours it allows the flavours to really develop for a truly delicious meal. One-pot cooking is just so convenient!
