Books & Spoons SLOW COOKING ON THE WINTER DAY

No matter how you prepare and plan, sometimes thing out of your control brings stress into our lives, and time is running out of our hands.
​
On those occasions, I do my best effort to take care of myself, and get some time to pamper myself, often with good food.



When the week has been filled with good 'fast food', that for me means wraps, woks, and such, a slow cooked meal sounds lovely. And actually doesn't take that much time or effort from me. Most of the time needed, it will be simmering in its own.

I took some mushrooms, onions, garlic, and beef tips, quickly seared them on the pan, and added them all into a dutch oven, with peeled and cut spring onions, leeks, celery, and carrots. For liquid I used some leftover Pinot Noir (I know, what is leftover wine...), and vegetable stock. 
I set the dutch oven into the oven, and let it do its magic over several hours. Of course, if you have a slow cooker, that can be used as well. 



As the food was cooking in the oven, the aroma was heavenly. I left in the oven for about three to four hours, so that all the vegetables were cooked, and the stew had a lovely consistency. I checked the flavor of salt and pepper, before serving. 
It turned out nice, really tasty and lovely for a cold, snowy, winter day.

I hope you all are staying warm, enjoying whatever season you have in your home. I just came home from the market with a file of cod, I'll let you know next week, what I came up with it. Till then,
~ Cheers! ​
