3 ‘Wonky’ One Pot Recipes

By Morrisons Jan 21, 2019

Wonky veg is ideal for one pot cooking. After all, once they’re peeled, chopped, sliced and stewed, carrots, peppers and other favourites look and taste just as good as their ‘normal’ cousins. Take a look at these winter warmers and make the most of ‘naturally wonderful’ produce from the greengrocery aisle.

Beefed-up Casserole

Wrap yourself in a blanket of beef stew comfort food this winter and use wonky veg in the pot for a more rustic appearance.

  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 800g braising steak, cubed
  • 400g shallots, peeled
  • 2 wonky peppers, deseeded and diced
  • 400g mushrooms, wiped, and halved if large
  • 2 tbsps tomato purée
  • 500ml ale
  • 400ml beef stockmade from a cube
  • 2 tbsps Bisto Gravy Powder
  • 400g wonky carrots , peeled & chopped

What to do:

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the braising steak. Stir fry over a very high heat to seal the meat on all sides then add the shallots, peppers and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  2. Mix together the tomato purée, stock and ale and pour over the meat and vegetables.Bring to the boil then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour until cooked through and the meat is tender.
  3. Mix the gravy powder to a thin paste with a little cold water and add to the stew. Continue stirring it in until the gravy thickens.
  4. Divide the stew into 2 batches – half can be sprinkled with parsley and eaten at once with mashed potato and the other half can be cooled then frozen for a later date.

Wonky fruit goes wonderfully with wonky vegetables in this dish. Use apples instead of pears if you like and look for mis-shapes to add a real ‘country supper’ feel.

  • 1 kg baby potatoes
  • 450g wonky carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 red onions, peeled and cut into wedges

  • ½ jar honey mustard sauce
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6.
  2. Mix the pack of sausages, the potatoes and the carrots with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and then arrange in a large roasting pan.
  3. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss well.
  4. Toss the red onion and pear quarters in the remaining oil and add to the pan. Spread the ingredients so there’s an even mix across the pan.
