There’s only one thing for it. Good, hearty winter food. Comfort food. Food that warms up your insides as well as your cheeks. Food that’s like a big warm cuddle from your Mum. Food that simmers away for hours and fills the house with delicious smells that make a house feel like a home.

Origin have created a collection of 12 (one for each week of winter) recipes that are simple and can be created just on your stove top this winter. I’ve tried out one for you – a perfect one pot wonder!

What’s your favourite winter comfort food?

Comments

  1. I’m all over this season of comfort food. Glass of red mandatory of course!

  2. Good morning, thank you for the recipe – I’ve just bought chuck steak ready for a casserole and now I don’t have to hunt for a recipe.
    I love your blog and I especially like that you reply to your comments.
    Have a lovely week.

    THIS LOOKS AWESOME! I also love making pea and ham soup. Anything in one pot works for me. Minimal washing up!

    • You know my thoughts on all products related to pork…but there is something about a big ham hock bone that leaves a little uneasy. Controversial I know!!

  4. The perfect winter comfort food! Do you coat your meat in flour using baking paper? That’s revolutionary I tell you! Loving you photos too Beth. x

    • I did this time – just whacked it onto the baking paper and gave it a bit of a wrap around and shake up – no washing up either!

  5. See this is the type of meal my mother would make when I was kid and I would have hated it and now I can’t think of anything better. http://www.smaggle.com/2013/10/14/the-5-dinners-my-mother-cooked-that-i-absolutely-hated/

  6. We’re having a beef-style stew tonight in the crock-pot. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve had to deal with temperatures this low so I’m recreating comfort food from when I was a kid. Some chunky seared portobellos standing in for the beef, but it’s ALL ABOUT THE GRAVY, right? Stew juice, haha

  7. Thank you, dinner tonight sorted!

  8. Thanks for the recipe, it looks delicious. Can I point out though that it says it is gluten free but it does in fact contain flour.

  9. Lisa Mckenzie says

    Love a slow cooked dinner and a nice warm comfort food in winter…great recipe thank you Beth!

  10. Great recipe. There is nothing better on a cold, wintry night 🙂
