Recipe:
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the meat for 4-5 minutes, in batches until brown. Spoon into a large casserole dish.
- Add the shallots, garlic and carrots to the frying pan and cook for 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to the casserole dish.
- Add the stock, wine, vinegar and herbs to the casserole dish. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, season and stir in the golden syrup.
- Cover and cook in the oven for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- To prepare the dumplings: place the flour and salt in a large bowl and rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Season. Add the remaining ingredients, mix together to form a smooth dough and shape into 8 even-sized balls.
- 20-25 minutes before the end of cooking time remove the casserole from the oven, add the dumplings, return to the oven and cook uncovered for the remaining cooking time.
- Serve with extra vegetables.
Tip:
Cool any leftovers, cover and store in the
refrigerator. When reheating, ensure the
casserole is piping hot before serving a sensational second helping.
