Lisa: You can give it a try but I have a hunch that it might turn the meat a tad bitter but if you like it that way, why not?!

I HAVE JUST FORWARDED THIS RECIPE TO MY COUSIN JOHANNA IN MALTA. I HAVE MADE IT TWICE AND IT IS DELICIOUS, I ALSO USED ONLY A TINY BIT OF THE STOCK AND OLD SPECKLED HEN.

WE’RE HAVING IT FOR SUPPER TONIGHT, I MADE THE FILLING YESTERDAY AND LET IT SIMMER IN THE BOTTOM AGA OVEN FOR 3 HOURS.

YUMMY.

I have made this twice and it was wonderful both times! The first I had to force myself not to eat the whole thing in one sitting!!

The second time I made the stew ahead of time and took it with me to an informal dinner party me and my friends had and baked the pie there–worked like a charm!

Made today, an absolute triumph, only problem it didnt say when to add the stock and it seemed rather a lot so I only added 200 ml at the end with the ale.
I also seasoned the flour.

Oh and I used Old Speckled Hen.

It was a masterpiece.

Thanks, Ciel. Are you going to try making it some time?

Jo: I didn’t have any ale in the house because I kept forgetting to buy it at the shops! Instead I used Guinness. Feel free to experiment with an ale of your choice and let me know how it turned out.
