Nigella Lawson's Greek Lamb Stew | Nigella Bites

[@puzzledzimbo]

"I spent all day chopping then up and putting them into cans," best line ever! Never understood the snobbishness surrounding canned or even frozen food

[@wellivea1]

Well, she'd probably be snobby about certain canned foods, etc but with tomatoes (and many frozen vegetables), canned is often better. Unless they're in season and you have access to a good farmer's market or something.

[@Fishfingers232]

It's not snobbishness, there are only a few exceptions where canned is equal or actually superior to the fresh versions. Even Gordon Ramsay and the best Italian chefs will use canned tomatoes because fresh tomatoes are usually picked unripe so they don't get damaged too much during transport.

[@kathleenanderson5769]

Nigella’s British sense of humour to her Italian side.

[@cspace1234nz]

Fresh ingredients are always best, it has nothing to do with "snobishness". You just can't always get good fresh ingredients, especially when it comes to tomatoes whivh can be quite superb out of a can when the alternative is bland hormone-sprayed cold-store ghastly tasteless tomatoes.

"And I spent all day, chopping these tomatoes and putting them into cans" 🤣

[@lesleyvivien2876]

Love the difference between an ego-driven chef - "This is how it must be done" - and Ms Nigella: "Don't fret about teaspoons and carrots - it really doesn't matter!" Joy.

[@manmaje3596]

Stews are a bit more liberating to cook. Less emphasis on weights and measures. Within reason of course.

The fact that I didn't try this recipe before going vegetarian is honestly one of my biggest regrets, but I still come back to the video so often because I just love everything about it, from the recipe to Nigella's presentation.

"Cook's Treat" must be protected at all cost.

[@larrysmith2638]

At first I was thinking, "You can't take the carrots out; one of the best parts of a stew." Then I watched as she finished the carrots off and ate them as a cook's treat. Okay, I can go for that.

[@bobstone9692]

The best part of the meal were the carrots imo, the stew didn't look up to much !

[@arnavibanerjee4173]

Why macaroni in a Greek lamb stew? I think fresh tomato puree and grilled capsicum puree add more taste into the dish. But everyone has their own recipe and own way of cooking. So , it's fine.

[@kostirakasiani0]

In Greece, we cook this stew with orzo instead of macaroni, no carrots, no celery , much less water. But Nigella rocks it anyway. Just because its Nigella ☺

[@larrysmith2638]

Probably because she likes macaroni, and she had it in the pantry. We all know how to substitute our favorite starch.

[@annother3350]

Macaroni is a great substitute. I use it in pastichio

You don't have to use a $120 bottle of wine. I've found good wines under $10. And if that's too much, just use half the bottle. And if that's too much, go buy some Dinty Moore stew at the store.
