Mum's Stew Shepherd's Pie

WW Points
The ThermoCouple

What's Needed

  • Thermomix
  • Oven
My Mum's stew in a Thermomix - couldn't be easier.
This recipe always makes me feel "home" and that Mum is close by. I always feel her standing over my shoulder when I make it, or maybe that is wishful thinking.
It was great when the kids were little - I would "cook the hell out of it" so all the veggies disappeared into sauce and I knew that they were getting a bowl of goodness and love. Now all I have to do is blitz the veggies and it is all hidden away if need be.

Notes

I have mentioned certain vegetables, but I just use WHATEVER is in my fridge at the time. You can be the judge. 
  • Any hard vegetable, chop with the carrots etc. 
  • Any soft vegetable, put in when the broccoli is due to be put in.
