Winter Warmers

 

My grandmother, true to her generation, believed that the best way to combat cold weather, winter blues and seasonal ailments was to make a good, hot rib-sticking stew!

To this day, I find that stews are true comfort food, and a good way to get your strength back if you've been laid low by a severe cold or the flu. Leftovers are easily frozen for future use or to be made into a pie, and stew is one dish where you can substitute ingredients to suit your own taste or whatever you have on hand, and produce an excellent result.

Storm Mountain Stew

Storm Mountain Stew

(Pictured above)

Back in the seventies, we were camping in the Rockies and on a stormy night we were driven from our rain-soaked tent to find a meal at nearby Storm Mountain Lodge, high atop the pass into the Kootenay Valley. The rustic surroundings and the excellent stew we chose as our meal have stayed in our memories all these years and inspired this great recipe that has long been a family favourite.

A 'designer' look stew that is none the less quite hearty - the phyllo topping is fabulous and so easy to do.

Essentially chili is a type of stew and the warmth of the spices and rich flavours make it a great winter dish too.

This is more like a meal than a soup. Mulligatawny is great at any time of year and I am sure that the curry flavourings help combat winter sniffles!

What list of stews and winter warm-ups would be complete without the perennial classic Irish Stew! My Irish ancestors probably used fewer herbs and spices, but this is our family's favourite version of this recipe.
