Ingredients:
The amount of each ingredient is determined by a number of factors, including: the size of the crockpot; availability and the chef’s taste. Where stated amounts are intended to be simply suggestions and offer some relative proportion. I add enough ingredients to fill a 7 litre crockpot.
- 1 k meat (beef or lamb) cut into bite-sized pieces
- Onion, chopped
- Celery, sliced
