  Tried this last night and it was delicious! couldn't find flageolet beans so used borlotti instead. I added cooked turkey sausages and served with jacket spuds, yummy!!

  A very nice meal. I used cannellini beans instead of butter beans as already had a tin in the cupboard and I put chives in the mash instead of parsley as I hate parsley with a vengeance!

  This was delicious though the cheese left a bit of a coating on your teeth - will probably make it with plain mashed potato or even brown rice next time.

  Made the stew and the mash and it was delicious. Tasted even better the next day with the leftovers.. particularly like the taste from the cider but I also shoved in some more garlic. Lovely.

  This was OK, served with jackets rather than mash. Added Quorn sausages which worked well.

  This recipe was very tasty and very quick to make. I had it on its own for lunch and with mash and sausages for dinner. So a flexible recipe.

  Very nice - I cheated with Aunt Bessie's mash, no extra butter or milk required

  This was very tasty, thought it was really great. I used the sausages, but think it would have been fine without them.

  I loved this stew - the cider makes all the difference. I added a bay leaf and used soya beans as I didn't have any flageolet. It was really tasty and very easy.

  Healthy, easy and generally available "store cupboard" ingredients which is great. I feel the stew lacks something - will try adding a bay leaf for some "depth" next time.

  I cooked this as part of my mother's day meal as I had a mixture of meat and non-meat eaters. Cooked it with the herbed crusted pork fillet recipe off of this site and used it as a sauce, and the non meat eater had it as a main course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would make it again for myself as it was delicious.
