Stews and Casseroles

 

On cold winters' nights, stews and casseroles can be soothing — a filling meal to warm you. Pile on the vegetables to accompany these hearty dishes…

Beef Stew with Dumplings, COU, Marks & Spencer

Beef Stew with Dumplings, Count On Us, Marks & Spencer*

This was unanimously voted 'delicious' and our panelists agreed it would be hard to beat. The packaging looks very tempting and the product lived up to it. A good size portion, the dish contained two light and tasty dumplings with big chunks of swede and carrot and a generous portion of beef. The gravy complimented the meal. We all agreed it was hard to believe this was a low calorie dish as it was so tasty and filling. Full marks to M&S!

Vegetable Stew & Dumplings, Linda McCartney

Vegetable Stew and Dumplings, Linda McCartney*

Tasty dumplings in a very nice savoury gravy with lots of chunky vegetables. Not bad at all and a reasonable sized portion!

Chicken Stew & Sage Dumplings, Eat Smart, Safeway

Chicken Stew & Sage Dumplings, Eat Smart, Safeway*

A reasonable sized portion from Eat Smart, the new low cal range from Safeway. A tasty dish but the panelists felt the flavour of the leek was a little overpowering. The dumplings received favourable comment but the chicken was deemed too dry.

Chicken Casserole, Good for You, Asda

 

Chicken Casserole with Mashed Potato, Good for You, Asda*

The packaging makes you want to try this dish. The chicken content was good but we all felt, for a 'casserole' this dish was lacking in vegetables. There was a heavy gravy content which was not complimentary. The mash was pleasant and made up a little for the lack of other items.

Beef Stew & Dumplings, Healthy Eating, Tesco

Beef Stew & Dumplings, Healthy Eating, Tesco*

Not a bad tasting stew with a few, much needed, dumplings — there was too much gravy and very little in the way of veg (only 3 pieces of carrot!) Overall, a bit disappointing — shame, because it had a good taste.

Beef Hotpot, Weight Watchers from Heinz

Beef Hotpot, Weight Watchers from Heinz*

A good potato topping complimented the pleasant tasting hot pot. We all commented that the serving size was poor (alright for a snack but not a major, complete meal) — yes, it is the lowest in kcal for the portion size but only because it is 320g compared to 400/450g — if this was a main meal you were left feeling very deprived!

Conclusion

We all enjoyed the fact that our winner, Count On Us, Mark's & Spencer,  was one of the lowest in fat! Linda McCartney's vegetarian alternative also came out well.
