One medium Onion.

These days were all pretty cosmopolitan in our tastes. Most of us can whip up some classic Italian, Indian or Mexican dishes which is great. Often though classic British dishes are being forgotten. So why not try this recipe next time your struggling for inspiration. Basically it's just a beef stew with a cheese scone mix on top. Sounds odd I know but it tastes great.
Method.
Chop the Onion and place with the Beef in a large Microwave and oven proof bowl.
Sprinkle with some Olive oil and cook on high for six minutes or so in a
microwave [ 800w] stirring half way through. Drain off any excess fat peel wash
and chop the Carrot and Turnip and add to bowl. sprinkle on some Beef granules
and top up with boiling water till meat and veg is covered. Place in a
conventional oven at 190C for two hours or until meat is tender.
Now make the Cobbler topping: Mix the Flour, Salt and Margarine. Now add the
cheese and work in to mixture. Add the Egg and Milk and mix in to a smooth
dough. Roll on a floured surface in to a shape about 1 cm thick to fit your
dish. When stew is ready place Cobbler toping on top and return to the oven for
a further 12 minutes. Serve with some mashed Potatoes and enjoy.
