INSTRUCTIONS
Serve this dark and delicious stew with a mashed potato Prep 25 mins, cook 55 mins. 1 Heat 2 TBSP of the stock in a large, flameproof casserole dish and fry the onions and all the mushrooms over a high heat, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes. Add a little water if they start to stick. Remove and set aside. 2 Add the wine, garlic, bay leaves and thyme to the casserole dish and bring to the boil. Boil rapidly until reduced by half. Return the mushrooms and onions to the pan and add the carrots, tomato purée and the rest of the stock. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are just tender. 3 Discard the bay leaves and thyme. Blend the cornflour with 1 tablespoon cold water until smooth and stir into the casserole. Bring to the boil, stirring, until thickened. Season to taste and scatter the green beans and tomatoes over. Cover and simmer for a further 15 minutes. Sprinkle over the fresh parsley to serve. Serve with new potatoes, mash or rice.
