Seder Night Beef Stew
Thursday, 11th April 2019
WITH THANKS TO DENISE PHILLIPS
PROFESSIONAL CHEF AND COOKERY WRITER
That special main course Seder night meal has to tick certain criteria; slow long cooking so food will not spoil, can be prepared in advance, uses readily available ingredients, easy to serve for large numbers, requires few kitchen utensils and above all will be thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family!
This recipe covers all these requirements and uses horseradish and parsley, the symbolic Seder night ingredients which you will no doubt have in your cupboards. The addition of dates adds a little natural sweetness to harmonize the overall combined flavours.
I like to serve it with either mashed or fondant potatoes.
Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 3 hours 15 minutes
Serves: 8 people
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 kg shin of beef cut into 4 cm pieces
5 onions – peeled and sliced

4 large parsnips – peeled and cut into chunky wedges
4 large carrots – peeled and cut into chunky wedges
200ml red wine
500ml beef stock – 500ml hot water with 2 tablespoons beef stock
150g stoned dates
3 tablespoons Horseradish sauce
3 tablespoons parsley – roughly chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
