I'm back with another recipe that I've tried and tested from the Everyday Light Pinch of Nom recipe book, which is part of the Stews and Soups section, which has 2 cooking methods, the Oven Method and the Slow Cooker Method, the method I will be sharing with you is the slow cooker method.
Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:
Low-calorie cooking spray
400 g lean, diced stewing beef
1 large onion, diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
1 celery stick, diced
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp garlic granules
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 x 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
500 ml beef stock (3 beef stock cubes dissolved in 500 ml boiling water)
2 tsp red wine vinegar
500 g sweet potato, peeled and diced
sea salt & freshly ground pepper
fresh thyme, to serve (optional)

Start off by spraying some low-calorie cooking spray into a pan, place over a medium-high heat and add the beef and fry for 4-5 minutes.

Next add the onion, celery, carrots, sweet potato, garlic granules and dried thyme to the slow cooker.

Next add the tin chopped tomatoes.

Next add the tomato puree and the red wine vinegar.

Next season with salt and pepper and pour in the beef stock.

Next add the beef to the slow cooker and stir well.

Cook the stew on low for 7 hours.

Once cooked for 7 hours, gently squash some of the sweet potato and stir, this will thicken the gravy. Now you're ready to serve.

I absolutely loved this stew, all the flavours worked really well together and I'll happily cook it again. It was really quick and easy to prepare ready to get it all in the slow cooker, meaning when I walked in from work, it was ready for me and Skye to sit down and enjoy.

If you're interested in any of Pinch of Nom's recipe's then you can buy the recipe books in all major supermarkets as well as online retailers Waterstones and Amazon.

See you soon!
