Hi,
Outside where I live it is absolutely freezing so I am hoping to make some food today which would warm me up nicely.

Other than the standard casseroles I cant think of anything different or interesting that will do the job.

I know there are some fine cooks out there in DS, so does anyone have any ideas to help me out please?

Lamb shanks.
Chicken cacciatore.
Chicken and leek pie
Cottage pie.
Lamb Hotpot.


There's many other things you can give a fancy name to but they're all stews or casseroles really.

If you like fish and want a change from meat then a nice fish pie is a good winter warmer

Chilli con carne is also a good hearty dish.

Snert is good for the winter. It gets lovely and thick. Smells delicious.

I use

1 onion
1 tin Baxters Game Soup
1 packet lardons
1 packet hock
1 tin pease pudding
Some sprouts.

It all goes into one pot.

Chop and fry onion. Add lardons. Wait for them to change colour. Add soup, hock, pease pudding and sprouts. Cook on the hob for as long as you like, making sure bottom does not burn. It usually takes me 45 minutes to cook but some people like 2-3 hours and use stock instead.

Asda Extra Special Lamb Shanks.- pru leith recipe - boil in the Bag (sous-vide, don't you know). £6 for two. Lovely, with a jacket potato, and some mashed root veg, say.

Wow...is that your own recipe? Sounds great!

Anything with chillies and/or ginger warms the circulation.

As you say, most winter warmer food is stew- or casserole-based, including pies, soups and even curries.

What about something based on a risotto or paella, OP? Pleasingly warming and filling.

And don't forget traditional British puddings; crumbles and steamed puds with custard are perfect cold-weather fare.
