WELSH Cawl Hearty Traditional stew 30 min cook Instant Pot
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 тра 2024
- Welsh Cawl, made with lamb, is a hearty and traditional stew widely regarded as Wales's national dish. It's a simple yet comforting dish, typically made from lamb, potatoes, carrots, leeks, and other seasonal vegetables. The ingredients are all simmered in a single pot, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
The dish is traditionally made with cheaper cuts of lamb that benefit from long, slow cooking, rendering the meat tender and flavourful. The vegetables absorb the rich flavors of the lamb, and the broth is typically thickened by the starches released from the potatoes. Cawl can be served as a thick soup or a more substantial stew, often accompanied by bread or cheese.
Cawl is especially popular during the colder months and is a staple during celebrations like Saint David’s Day. Each family might have its own version of cawl, with slight variations in ingredients and seasonings, making it a versatile and personal dish.

For all those who are wanting to know the correct way of saying Cawl its not with my Yorkshire accent its Cowel - like the ending of towel. Thanks to my My lovely Welsh watchers for helping me out with this one! Best, Rik
Some pronounce it "cowl" some say it more like "cool".
❤❤❤ you are loved
No pressure cooker so slow cooker will have be used
@@jamiewebb774 And I pronounce it, What time do we eat!
A great meal , it used to be standard scoff in Wales, but I bet most of the younger generation have probably never had it. well done.
Probably not mate - All the stews around the country are outstanding - stuff them down with some bread and better and I'm just made up! Easy and quick this fantastic results. Thank you. Best, Rik
JUST LOOK...AT THAT🤤😋 Sunday special that one Rikmeister. Great stuff Sir
Ha ha ha, Cheers, Dan. Ive been stuffing myself all day. Thank you. Best, Rik
I can almost taste it when he says just look at that!, love it
@@kurtthorington373 Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks wonderful! I've never cooked lamb; but, this recipe has inspired me to give it a try. I don't have an InstaPot so it'll be long & slow in the oven for me. Oh, how I remember my growing up years when my Mom used her pressure cooker for swiss steak, green beans with bacon and other family favorites. Listening to the spit, sputter and rocking of the pressure gauge all the while "knowing" it could blow up at any time (ah, the childhood mind!) left me as a 63-year-old not daring to use a pressure cooker. Thank you for sharing! Love, love your videos.
Ha ha ha I think many of us have been there with the old pressure cookers on the stove top. They were (and are) very good - by heck scary in the kitchen. Thank you. Best, Rik
Chef Rik, you are an outstanding host. My day is always a little brighter when I see you've cranked out another video. Many thanks, mate! ☮
Wow, thank you, appreciated. Thank you. Best, Rik
Pronounced Cowl as in Owl. Thanks for doing another Welsh dish 🏴🙏
Love the no nonsense attitude 👍
Not being Welsh thank you appreciated. Thank you. Best, Rik
Here in the U.K. chef we need good ole stews to keep warm even in May,lol. I love this dish Rik. I'll give it a go. Also chef I made an apple pie today for afters using your pastry recipe. I've never heard of adding vinegar before and the pastry was lovely. Ta very much chef.😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for sharing! Did you watch and read the full explanation of my pastry making? By the way its Rik - not chef. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChefhi Rik, yes I never knew about the acid from vinegar or lemon juice slows down the gluten and I've always been a bit afraid making pastry b coz I'm a good bread maker, too heavy handed for pastry,lol. Hubby bought me a good food processor but I only used it for making sliced veggies and that. So I made the pastry it yesterday, made it into two discs then chilled it and i5 came out abs delicious, light a little flaky and golden in colour, I cooked it in my little cosori 12 litre oven, it's brill. So I'm no longer nervous about making pastry, ta very much Rik.😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 p.s. I also have the cosori pressure cooker, it's brill.
I'm from South Wales and love your Cawl you are right it does taste better second day .have you a recipe for pea soup.my mother used to make it when we were kids with ham and dried peas xx
Thank you. There is a recipe for split pea soup on here and its really nice. Best, Rik
My Welsh ancestors brought recipes to North America with them and this was one of them. I just didn’t realize it came from that branch of the family before now. We made it in an old iron pot.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Gosh , that has brought back some memories , my late beloved hubbie really took to using the Pressure Cooker after he retired as a Postman for 26 years , walking 72 miles a week and carrying 70 lbs of mail on his back , before that he had been a Butcher for 12 years , he used to make Irish Stew frequently , very similar to Welsh Cawl but without the parsips or turnips , yours looks divine , my mouth is drooling , my wedding present 1982 Pressure Cooker has sat in the larder ever since , I'm scared stiff to use it , and would probably bring the ceiling down LOL😮 !! Love your recipes and your chatter , we travelled to Hawes in The Dales a lot in our touring caravan , complete with a fully iced and fully marzipan Christmas Cake , made with a tin of strawberries , a bar of Bournville Dark Chocolate , and sultanas soaked overnight in brandy , my Freddie loved Christmas Cake , his idea of a slice was not 3" x 1" , instead it was a slice the whole way across the cake , great recipe , very moist cake , just scrummie ! We have travelled all over the UK and Ireland , complete with 2 cats , great memories , great times of
34 years spent with a wonderful husband , a great guy , brilliant sense of humour and 6ft 2ins , spitting image of Billy Connolly he was , and he had his goatee beard long before Billy , he loved Yorkshire folk , said they were the salt of the earth , straight as a dye , outspoken but solid , it was in his blood as his grandfather was a Yorkshire man !! So thanks for the memories Rik , will definitely be trying this in my Slow Cooker , even over at my caravan in Scotland , on the shores of Loch Ryan , greetings from Belfast , bit overcast presently , but hoping for some sunshine , very green here , love this time of year , with the trees out in new leaves and the hedgerows bursting with wild flowers and my garden in full bloom with fuchsia azaleas and minature peach and yellow rhododendrens , perfect , take care ATVBW😊❤😊❤
Thanks for sharing. Thank you. Best, Rik
Cant believe it.....moved to wales thought before went to work i want to try a cawl as feeling a bit coldy. Thought when i get home from work i will look for a recipe and got home and the man himself had done me a vlog. Thankyou
WOW! Thank you. Best, Rik
I lived in Wales for a shortish time. Met fantastic friends whom I still have contact with. One of them used to take me home with her to her parents for our days off. Her Mum made Cawl and it was fantastic , we would come home with some. My friend who is married was all prepared for the 'no that just doesn't taste like. My Mum's Cawl' when first married got that sentence but with YOUR MUM 'S Cawl. You need to get her to teach you.... She was kind of shocked!. Her mum also used to cook fabulous Sewen..... A fish lover I am not, but this was great, and of course a good roast lamb. I loved laverbread and good thick Polish bacon that I have never found anywhere else.... Thank for trip down memory lane.... Problem is.... Its won't taste the same as my friends Mum's.... 😪
Thanks for sharing your memory. Thank you. Best, Rik
Gosh , this takes me back , lost my dearly beloved hubbie 7 years ago , after he retired after 26years as a Postman , walking 72 miles a week , carrying 70 lbs in weight of post on his back , he really took to cooking , especially using our wedding present 1982 Pressure Cooker , he loved it and would make Irish Stew in it frequently , very similar recipe to this Welsh Cawl but without the parsnips or turnip , yours looks divine Rik , going to try it in my Slow Cooker as the Pressure Cooker has remained in the larder as I'm scared stiff of it and would probably bring the kitchen ceiling down LOL 😮, love your recipes and all your chatter , spent years travelling to Hawes in The Dales in our touring caravan , even at Christmas , complete with my fully iced and fully marzipan homemade Christmas Cake , made with a tin of strawberries and a bar of Bournville Dark Chocolate and brandy soaked sultanas , brilliant recipe , gorgeous cake , my hubbies idea of a slice , was not 3" x 1" but the whole way across the cake and then sliced , gawd I miss him , we had such great times together travelling all over the UK and Ireland , complete with 2 cats , great days , great memories , 6 ft 2 ins and the spitting image of Billy Connolly , great guy , wonderful husband , sorely missed but 34 wonderful years together 🎉😊❤
Omg it looks amazing.i get my bowl ready lol and crusty bread 😂😂😂😂😂
I would gladly share! Thank you. Best, Rik
Thank you for an introduction to the Instant Pot, RIk! I was raised on a pressure cooker by a very nervous mother, and I have been avoiding buying an Instant Pot for that reason. But not only does it look simple to use, but it also seems safe!
You are so welcome! Yes very safe indeed. This is not a promotion either i have no connection to Instant pot or any other pressure cooker. I think the Instant pot is an amazing bit of kit for the kitchen. It gives you more downtime and that's what we all need in a day - Why stand for 2 1/2 hours checking a stew when you can switch on and leave it. It makes so much sense to me. They do all sorts of things that I don't use it for. Amazing! Worth having a look at one. Thank you. Best, Rik
Thanks for bring back the old recipes. Can we have more Instant Pot ideas please.
Absolutely!! Thank you, Best, Rik
I was brought up on cawl in the winter but it was the cheapest of ingredients. .lamb shanks , swede , cabbage , onions , potatoes and all the leek ..white and green ..it's not the winter but thanks Ric ..it's got to be cawl this week ..crusty bread and lashings of salted Welsh butter
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
Fabulous cawl- lamb is the only way to go along with leeks 😊thanks Ric
Yes that is the way to go indeed. Thank you Best, Rik
Oh great! This spurs me to get the instant pot out - and perfect timing because I just bought some lamb. Yum.
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
To me, that is a perfect meal.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Please more recipes for the insta pot
OK - not many seem to use them - and they are brilliant. Thank you. Best, Rik
I love a pressure cooker. More people need to get one.
@@user-zj6gu5vi8x Thank you. Best, Rik
@@user-zj6gu5vi8x Me too.
Whether it’s the Instapot or the Ninja 15 in 1, they’re all pressure cookers, more people have them nowadays so recipe ideas for them would be much appreciated. Keep your videos coming Rick, I’ve tried several and successful in every one! Cheers mate 👍🏻 Gill. X
Brilliant I must try your way of doing it. I usually make this for the Welsh on News Years Eve and we put it in the fridge for New Years Day. Winter is the best time for it it's delicious.. Neeps Tatties and haggis is another one I do for Burns Night. Summer time it's paella time and also pickles, sausage rolls or sausage lattice boiled eggs, ham / corned beet and salad and a bread cake with some potatoes and maybe quiche or scotch egg. yummy.
Wow all sounds lovely. Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks delicious. I love stews and casseroles. A pressure cooker like that would have been brilliant, when the children lived at home. Although I'm a widow and only have a tiny kitchen, I'm tempted to buy a pressure cooker like that one. Thanks for sharing, Rik. Have a great evening.
If I may interject here-I love my Instant Pots (I have three). If it's used frequently it's well worth the counter space. They make a 3qt but even for a single person I would recommend the 6qt.
They do so many things. Soups and stews, of course. Porridge from whole grains, like steel-cut oats. Rice and other grains. Steaming veg (outstanding for mashed potatoes). Curries. Dried beans/lentils. Four minute pasta. Even yogurt, if you get one with that setting. It does have a saute setting but like Rik I don't use it, it's just too hot for that. But I do put veg in a steamer rack, add water and use the saute function with the glass lid to steam veg.
There is also a 'pot-in-pot' option. You place your casserole dish in the liner on a rack with water in the bottom and pressure cook. You're basically steaming the casserole. It replaces oven cooking. Broil afterward if you like top browning. This method works for cakes and cheesecakes. You can get stacked pans to do two different dishes at once (Amazon) or two portions of the same one, of course. I've used it to reheat food-nothing dries out.
They're perfectly safe. Just be sure the gasket is intact, the pressure knob is set to close and there's *always* water in the bottom. If you do a quick release be aware of the steam and you may need to toggle it if it wants to sputter.
They are fast and energy efficient and don't heat up the kitchen. I use my 8qt almost daily. It lives on my counter and we're just two of us. But, I do cook all our meals from scratch and we're mostly vegetarian. But when I do make meat stew it gives you hours-long tenderness in minutes as Rik showed.
Long post, I know, but the Instant Pot does so very much and we love it so, I had to share.
Happy Cooking!
@@dianeladico1769 thank you. It certainly sounds extremely versatile.
I think they are one of the best appliances in the kitchen. Thank you. Best, Rik
Thank you for this Diane. An amazing response for all of us. You make more things than I do now. I use it about 3 times a week now as well as sous vide. Anything that save time and cooks well. Thank you. Best, Rik
I do this with beef. I don't even peel the potatoes. On mine pushing the stew button gives you 28 min. If I don't have more than fresh potatoes, I add canned vegtables after. It tastes better the next day for those. I have even added a can of tomatoes. It's whatever your cupbard has. Rarely get lamb available except at Easter and at what you would call posh prices. There was more available in the 1970s. My mom would make mutton stew as well. Dad like it to remind him of his war time in Australia.
Thanks for sharing. Good memories. Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik I studied at Cardiff for 4 years and love Welsh food especially cawl and Barra breath with butter. Top tip I was given by a local cook of Italian heritage who's family moved to Wales in the 1950s, her father was a miner. Although not traditional but true to her heritage she adds a small glass of red vermouth. You still get the lamby taste but with a tiny background of flora taste too though very subtle. I enjoyed your cooking style. Well done on 100k subs 🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the tip! Sounds good. Thank you. Best, Rik
Always better the next day
Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Nice one. I cook a chicken and leek soup (with carrots, potatoes, celery, and peas) and that is something like a stew. My wife loves it even more the second day as the potatoes gives off more starch (?) and thicken it even further. Sadly she doesn't care much for lamb, but I wonder if I could substitute chicken or pork. OK, it wouldn't be a cawl.
Of course! Yes indeed, cook what you like to eat. Thank you. Best, Rik
Lovely with some herby dumplings Rik 👍
Thank you. Best, Rik
Rhyme it with 'towel' to get the right pronunciation. Great video.
Thank you very much! Best, Rik
That looks delicious, Rik. I've used a pressure cooker all my life, I usually like to cook the meat on its own for a bit and then add the veg so that it doesn't get quite so mushy. Thank you for the recipe, stay well and keep cooking!
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
Yummm
Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks amazing!
Totally agree with browning the meat in a pan first instead of the Instant Pot. I'd been using the saute function on mine, but it seems to take ages to reach temperature, and it makes the job harder. A pan is so much easier and gives you more control. I always brown meat in a pan before placing it in a slow cooker 🤷♀
I've not tried stew made with lamb before, but I definitely need to now 😋
Sounds great! Yes I agree with you. Thank you. Best, Rik
THANK YOU RIK... MY FAMILY LOVE STEW FOOD 🥘👌❤️🙏
Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks brilliant chef, got to admit I love stews especially with dumplings as normal excellent recipe cheers Rik.
Thanks for watching. Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks very tasty Rik, well done mate 🤤
That'll put hairs on your chest! I must admit that I'm not a lover of lamb. I make my stew with beef. When I do, I always do chunky veg. The parsnips and celery look lovely. I have to cook this Rik. I like to dook (dunk) my bread into the gravy. It's definitely a winner for me.
Love a stew and always dunkin. I think it was in the early days of being full. Everything got mopped up, gravy, sauces. Thank you, Liz. Best, Rik
wonderful cooking so lovely.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik, Everything you make is comfort food! I make a lot of them, just did the Patatas Gravas right after I watched. Keep up the good cooking!
Awesome! Thank you! Best, Rik
Looks amazing, will definitely be giving this a go I'm my instant Pot! 👍
Thank you. Best, Rik
Years ago, before I had my kids, my ex husband and I went to Wales for a camping holiday. We decided on a walking day and battled the elements of rain, sleet, mist and sun. By 2 ish we were starving and had been wet through, dried out and wet again! We got to a lovely village called Little Haven and because we were cold ordered the Welsh Cawl. I couldn’t wait for it to arrive, and I was day dreaming about the tender lamb, soft vegetable and tangy lamb gravy. When it came, it was a tiny bowl with a doorstep of bread. That’s obviously how they filled you up. It wasn’t exactly cheap either. I took my first spoonful………….the veg was crunchy, the lamb chewy ad gristly and there was basically no flavour to it. How I wish you’d been the cook that day Rik. There would be nothing amiss with your Welsh Cawl. It looks wonderful and just what we needed that day. We left disappointed and hungry still. For the price we paid, there wasn’t even any butter for the bread! Lovely village, terrible pub. That was years ago now though. xxxxx
Wow what an experience, however a memory. Thanks for sharing. Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik I’ve never had lamb but we do here make beef stew ,we sear the cubes of beef and as you did ,veggies of our choice.😊 absolutely delish.
Mmmmm mmmm😋😋
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
Yumm heart warming food ❤❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
For me Hearty Stew is English staple food - English Tradition 🥇🏆👏( in this case Welsh😉) I simply love it 😋♥
I agree, many versions around the British Isles - I love them all. Thank you. Best, Rik
I have an instant pot, somewhere. I think I will use it now. Pressure cookers have always terrified me.
The Instant pot is fantastic! The stove top one I have here are like scary stuff. Put on and walk away go back when the time is up. Thank you. Best, Rik
Love anything with Lamb just wish it wasn’t so expensive in the US. When I lived in the UK it was very reasonably priced.
Yes, it's definitely a beef county. Make it with beef no problem - folks do interchange. Thank you. Best, Rik
Meat and potato stew with assorted veg, in all it's incarnations is always a win. American style biscuit, hunk of crusty bread, fluffy dumplings, even everyday bread and butter and look out :) This version with lamb(could also use mutton, just cook the meat longer), without tasting or smelling it, I can tell is absolutely superb. Something about the flavor of sheep meat that takes things into another dimension. Another good one. Thanks Rik.
Thank you as always! Been hearing Lamb is really expensive in the States - mind you its more a beef country. Thank you. Best, Rik
Lovely dish I had many a time growing up. For those interested, the Welsh pronunciation is how you'd say Cowell for Simon Cowell
Thank you. Best, Rik
A great stew is always a pleasure, thank you.
Thank you. Best, Rik
A great hearty looking stew Rik, reminds me of my Mum’s Scottish stew we had growing up, only made with diced stewing steak instead of lamb 😋 … delicious 🤤 I was known to eat my way through half a loaf while enjoying this, my mother used to say I must have had hollow legs as I was thin as a rake & could eat like a hungry horse!😆 I’m currently saving up to buy an electric pressure cooker, what size is the insta-pot you use if you don’t mind me asking Rik? As always thank you for sharing 🙏
Enjoy a nice relaxed Sunday, enjoy your stew & take care 👨🍳🍲😋👌🫶
David, loved reading this mate - I think we all grew up dunkin bread in the stew - I cut all that out or the video would have been longer and might not have appealed to anyone. I'm a dunker - bread always in gravy and stews. There is a link in description for the pressure cooker - you dont have to get it there - however you could compare prices. I use mine 3 - 4 times a week, as well as sous vide. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Cheers Rik & much appreciated from a fellow ‘dunker’😋😆. Shall go check out the link in your description & thanks for taking the time to answer my question.👍
@@davidmurphy816 I will always try to answer anyone with a real interest - it helps all of us. Some of the folks on here are very knowledgable indeed! Its a shame that more do not pass on their knowledge for all of us - I'm still learning. Keep on dunkin. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef 🙏
Great video! I am envious of the beautiful lamb you're cooking with. Its prohibitively expensive here in the States, much more than even top grade beef. But luckily you can still get the occasional deal, and I keep my eye on the clearance rack to get my occasional sheepy fix😂
Oh wow! I buy reduced frozen too! This works well with beef - Thank you. Best, Rik
Delicious.

I deleted my wonderful post from this morning because, for some reason it was followed with a bunch of naysayers. Here I am back to tell you what a wonderful dish you have prepared. Thankyou Rik!
Your kidding! If I had seen that I would delete them - even if they are subscribed - This place, its about folks getting something from everyone in cooking! Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef no worries, it probably wouldn't have phased you a bit. 🤣
@@AZ-Sharon I get tired of the armchair warriors that scan channels make comments - most of them clearly do not cook! They pass on information they have picked up along the way. Especially the ones that are adamant that ingredients cannot be interchanged - of course they can. Sorry you had to delete. Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik, thanks for this reminder of a dish I went mad for on a holiday in Wales, but haven't done myself for years. I used to use up left over roast meat in it. Also thanks to the commentators who mentioned adding cheese, although I think I used to melt it in the hot dish.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yummy
Thank you. Best, Rik
Thanks Chef
So nice of you! Thank you. Best, Rik
Nice! 👌😋
Thank you. Best, Rik
I just ordered one of those instant pots (the small 3 litre one though, just the right size for me and it was the cheapest!) Heading into winter soon here in Australia and it'll the perfect time to start cooking some comfort foods like this. Using a pressure cooker for the first time will be a bit of a novelty anyway, looking forward to it.
Hope you enjoy it! You got this. Its so easy to chuck stuff in - make a chilli, stew, soups etc. all fresh and quickly. I think its one of the best bits of kit in the kitchen. (I'm not sponsored or anything) I just tell it as it is. Thank you. Best, Rik
Great, I just bought some lamb chunks for to tomorrows tea.👍
This recipe is going to be used ( although not in a pressure cooker) 👌🙂
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
I use my slow cooker it's fantastic
That's great! Thank you. Best, Rik
Lovely traditional cooking !
Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef But why do you use an instant pot ?? Stews are cooked slowly (simmered) in cast iron pots, that is how the flavors develop.
I am doing this for tonight. No pressure cooker so I will just cook it slow and low in the pan
Yes more of the traditional way. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef I will sauté and add the veg halfway though as I don't want the spuds to go to mush
❤️❤️🥰
Thank you. Best, Rik
I do love the traditional recipes Rik. My Gran used to have a stew pot by the fire all winter and add whatever to it. We used to call it surprise stew. I use a slow cooker now and do much the same.
Sounds great! Yes the old cooking was really tasty and skillful. The slow cooker is another essential bit of kit in the kitchen. Comes in very handy when you are busy doing something else. Thank you. Best, Rik
Next day stew is the best so double up ❤️👍🏼
Agreed there, Brenda. Nice over a jacket spud too! Thank you. Best, Rik
Hello there rik. I have an instant pot, but for whatever reason I tend to only cook rice and sometimes chicken in it. This stew looks so good. Simple and straightforward ❤❤❤❤
You know the instant pot is a fantastic cooker, same as some of the other pressure cookers. Its essential in my kitchen - cheap cuts of meat cooked tender than added to other ingredients. Thank you. Best, Rik
30 minutes? When I lived in the wilder part of west Wales, my neighbours used to make cawl the old fashioned way: in a pot over the fire in the inglenook. All sorts of scraps were thrown in and portions taken out periodically. A pot might have a lifespan of 2-3 weeks, and at that point I admit I was hesitant to accept a bowl because when the fire went out overnight, it would cool down making good conditions for bacterial growth! I think I prefer your method, which is closer to a Lancashire (if I dare mention the place to a Yorkshireman) hotpot.
All sounds amazing! What memories. Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks just like the cawl we had in a brilliant cafe in the town of Cardigan last month,they serve it with a roll and a chunk of crumbly welsh cheese on the side.
Love your recipes Rik!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Hello that is just gawjus. Well done, happy 😊 Bank holiday Monday. Fingers crossed, no rain yet x
Thank you. Best, Rik
My Grandmother would cook this and once going would just top fluids and veg accordingly as we ate it. The more days cooking the tastier it became. Beautiful.. just one thing call always has leek.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Make this crawl (pronounced cowl) ever fortnight in the cold months. Never fry anything, only herb I use is chopped fresh parsley. My mother taught me as her mother taught her.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I recall the old days granny stood at arms length to lift the little weight off the cooker 😆.
Good old days! Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks good my friend. I would like to try it with lamb sometime I usually make with beef or pork as the little woman won’t eat lamb. Cheers
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oo Rik that looks fabulous I’m full of cold at the moment and that looks like it would hit the spot and do me good thank you 🤧Amanda xx
Stay wrapped. Thank you. Best, Rik
Where was the cheese? 😂
Looks great and something i can try in my instant pot. Thanks Rik
Thank you. Best, Rik
just ordered the insta pressure cooker (as well as the glass lid) from Amazon .. it will be great for curries too
Sounds like a plan. The meat for curries can be cooked really well and within 20 - 30 mins depending how soft. Thank you. Best, Rik

Thank you. Best, Rik
Well, that's a bit of a turnip for the books.
Thank you. Best, Rik
That sounds really good. And I am actually thinking 🤔 that it would be really good on top of some good garlic toast and topped with a Good Welsh Cheddar Cheese 🧀. Oh and when slow cooking it some Guinness Extra Stout. Some of you know what I am talking about...
Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi Rik 😊. Getting off the track a bit, but have you pressure canned in your instant pot?
I haven't. Thank you. Best, Rik
Why not just use the sauté settings on the instant pot for the lamb and onion and then add in the rest of your veg? Just wondering, thanks.
Its too hot, with no control. Thank you. Best, Rik
I’ve made many a pressure cooker stew like that. Only difference is that my wife and I like the juice a bit thicker. I was taught to roll the meat in flour before browning it off. That in the pressure cooker turns the juice about halfway to a gravy right out of the pot, no cornstarch needed. Is that something done in British cooking?
Yes indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Now I got another thing to fire up in my slow cooker
Thank you. Best, Rik
What are your recommendations for stove top
About 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Thank you. Best, Rik
Cawl is just a stew of whatever you have to hand, traditionally Lamb was the meat content here in South Wales, beef is cheaper these days.
Thank you. Best, Rik
LOOOOOOOKS SOOOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS!

Grammy would cook something similar in a pot on her wood burning stove...low & slow....with beef.
Sounds good! Thank you. Best, Rik

How long and at what temperature in an oven?
Cooking a stew in the oven generally involves slow cooking at low temperatures to allow the flavours to meld together and tenderise the meat and vegetables. A typical temperature setting for stew is around 325°F (160°C). The cooking time can vary depending on the type and cut of meat, as well as the size of the vegetables, but generally, it takes about 2 to 3 hours.
For best results, make sure all ingredients are cut into uniform pieces, and the oven is preheated to the right temperature. Checking the stew occasionally and stirring can help ensure even cooking and prevent any ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Thank you. Best, Rik
My Mom made this stew with lamb,but called it Irish stew,I guess these stews are all the same,just different names depending where you live in the UK.
Yes agreed there! Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik will you please do an authentic fish and finger pie?
