Tonights dinner is skirt of beef with rosemary and red wine.

I pan fry the red onions,carrots new potato and garlic which are all rough cut add to the slow cooker.

The pan fry the skirt and put in the slow cooker too.

In the empty pan after the meats etc etc have gone add the red wine,rosemary and dices tomato.

I slow cook mine for six hours and serve with either crusty brown bread with butter or flavoured dumplings.

Also I am making chilli banana shallots and pigs cheek.

In the pan you intend to slow cook in fry off the shallots,chilli sauce and coriander seeds and chilli flakes along with peppers sliced length ways.

Add silly amounts of balsamic vinegar and a tin of chopped tomatos and then add the pan fried pigs cheek and sweetcorn cook it for six or more hours on a low heat.Finish off with chickpeas and herbs just before serving.
