The wonderful thing about this stew, is it’s so versatile! Here’s a few options to serve alongside this hearty and healthy stew…

1. Bread

The first thing that comes to mind is Bread! I don’t know about you but I love to sop up sauces and gravy with a good wedge of something doughy! Try these:

• The Best Ever Mozzarella And Garlic Focaccia Muffins!
• Chunky Doorstep Cheesy Garlic Bread
• Poppy Seed Bread Rolls with a Honey Glaze!
• Milk and Honey Loaf
• Salt & Pepper Bread

2. Croutons

I know! Technically still Bread! Croutons are indeed made from fried, toasted or baked bread, and can be made from white, wholemeal, granary or even sourdough bread. The fabulous thing about croutons is their crunch! Pile a few of my Jumbo Herby Croutons on this stew and you have something quite spectacular! Give my Airfryer Crispy Bagel Bites a try too.

3. Yorkshie puddings

You cannot beat a good yorkshire pudding with a stew! Delicious little batter bowls, perfect for scooping up homemade hearty food. Here in the north, they are often affectionately known as ‘puds’ or ‘yorkies’. Americans have a similar version known as popovers.

Wherever you come from, they are a treat that’s hard to beat! Make My Easy Homemade Yorkshire Puddings for a taste of British!

4. American Style Biscuits

The American biscuit closely resembles our English Scones. Normally made with Flour, butter, dairy and some form of rising agent. American biscuits are a savoury, soft and fluffy bake perfect for sopping up gravy and sauces. Try my American Style Biscuit Recipe

5. English dumplings

English Dumplings are traditionally made from a mixture of flour and suet. Stodgy little balls of heaven that are sometimes flavoured with herbs and spices and can be either boiled or baked. Add these to any stew and you’ll be napping within the hour!

6. Chips

Are you a dipper? Me too! Make a batch of my Homemade herby chips, and dip away!
