A wartime meal

HI all,

AS you know, i quite enjoy making something for not a lot of money. I have quite a few recipes from the second world war, most of these are quite frugal with the ingrediants, but in this day and age, i think we all need to be quite clever with our store cupboard ingrediants. Here is a recipe which does just that, its very tasty and very cheap to make.

Wartime Stew;


ingrediants;


1/4 pound of meat
onions
1 cup of haricot beans
carrots
turnips
salt and pepper

method;

chop the meat and brown, (use more meat if you have it)
add the onions and the haricot beans (soaked overnight)
Add 2 or 3 carrots and the turnip, all chopped into even pieces.
Pour over some stock or water and simmer for 2 or 3 hours.
season with the salt and pepper. serve hot but arrange the meat on top so that it doesnt look completely meatless.
