[Food] NSC Winter Warmers recommendations

Bry Nylon · Nov 7, 2019

It's that time of year when I need some inspiration to expand my relatively limited repertoire of wholesome winter warmers beyond my go-to dishes of chilli, bolognese, chicken fajitas etc.

The stipulations are fairly straightforward. It needs to:

Involve proper cooking (ie - no ready meals) using decent ingredients that are readily available from most supermarkets
Be nutritious, high protein.and low fat.
Be relatively straightforward and doesn't require several hours in the kitchen.

Any ideas?

I know it doesn’t fit your criteria but a quick winter warmer is a soup at MS ..chunky vegetables and three bean soup with a blend of spices...lunch on its own or with some rice for supper...warms me up after a cold day trimming bushes

I make this most weeks during the Winter - quick and easy to do. Add as little or as much spice as you are comfortable with.

I generally don't bother with sweetcorn now, but up the quantities of carrot and onions. I also add 50g of brown rice which helps thicken it up a bit.

Macaroni is your winter friend

Gammon cook your own is cheaper, but ore cooked is fine.

Massive pot start with onion, garlic, leek, celery (whatever you have really).

Once softened add gammon tomato, cabbage, water stock, again whatever you have.

Bring to boil and add macaroni. Whilst cooking grate cheese.

2-3 days if you look after it and top it up.

Bacon pudding, but it fails your red lines, but is delicious

This is one of my favourites.

Buy a cheap slow cooker, you wont regret it.

Westdene Seagull · Nov 8, 2019

Liver, bacon, mash, peas, fried onions and lashings of gravy.

Norman Potting · Nov 8, 2019

Home made Leek and Potato soup? Make it in bulk and freeze - the supply still doesn't last long as the younger Pottings are addicted to it. Fortunately the two younger Pottings and myself, unlike Mrs. P., enjoy fiddling around in the kitchen.

Another one we like is Chilli Pasta casserole as got off an ancient (25+ yrs. I suspect) Sainsbury recipe card. Basically your favourite meat or veg Chilli recipe mixed with pasta shapes (wholemeal pasta shells seem to work best) and then baked in the oven with a cheesy topping for 20 - 25' minutes and then served with salad and bread of choice. You can make it in bulk (just leave off the cheese topping) and freeze.

Lots of lovely winter recipes here https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/collections/bonfire_night_dinner

I quite fancy making the Hairy Bikers 'Great Sausage Casserole' as well as a few others

Yes Chef · Nov 8, 2019

If game is your thing, then now is the time of year to do it. Slow cook some Venison shoulder in stock with some aromatics, pull it apart with a fork, make a sauce/gravy with remaining stock, pour into a suitable receptical, top with mash, and you have yourself a Venison cottage pie

Just off to the German Market for my favourite winter warmer-currywurst mit pommes frites-yum yum :xmas:

Cheap, easy, healthy.

Toad in the hole with mash and cabbage/leeks.

Or simply sausages and mash if you can't be bothered to make the batter. Always serve with a nice thick onion gravy.

Liver and onions with mash and cabbage etc.

Cauliflower cheese.
