Beef Stew and Leftover Stew Pie for Two
So anyways I made a pretty basic stewfor us for tea one night last week, using only beef, carrots, parsnips, onions, celery and swede/turnips/rutabaga
Fried sopapillas
You will yield 16 wedges Preheat a big pot to 375℉ with vegetable oil, filled about ⅓ of the pot Fry 2-3 sopapillas at a time until golden brown for about 2-3 minutes. This will take about 1 minute Take the sopapillas from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel Cool slightly while you combine the cinnamon and sugar Sprinkle the sopapillas with the cinnamon sugar or drizzle with honey
Maple Pecan Squares
The squares were melt in the mouth, flavoured with delicious maple sweetness, and had a gentle crunch of pecans
Wholemeal maple syrup, date and pecan sticky buns
These are made with two thirds wholemeal for more of an earthy bite. I added a maple-syrup sauce for added sweetness, well that and it seemed to instill a sort of North American/Canadian vibe with the pecans (though what the dates are now doing there I am not sure – perhaps next time I’ll swap them from dried cranberries
