Meat and Veg Hot Pot

European made motorhomes (e.g. Rimor, Hymer, Pilot etc) tend to have only a hob with 2 or 3 rings. Only the British made motorhomes have a fitted oven. This can leave you limited in what you can cook but Zoe and I do cook a lot in Herman and we simply love it.

This has got to be my favourite meal to have while camping. It's delicious, it's good for you, easy to make, wholesome and doesn't have much washing up.

The basic idea is to put cuts of meat and vegetables into a saucepan with the lid on and cook it all on a low heat. The veg maintain their flavour and the meat is tender.

We normally use lamb chops but any cut or meat will do so long as it is small pieces. We like using carrots, potatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, anything really and olives are great too.

Trim any fat off the meat and chop up the veg and put it all in the saucepan with the meat at the bottom so it can cook in the liquid. We then add about half a pint of stock, wine or water and cook on a very low heat with the lid on for 45-60 minutes.

Serve when the meat is cooked and the potatoes/carrots are soft with some crusty bread and red wine.
