  Very easy and quick. I don't like pulses so didn't include the cannellini beans. Loved it!

  Really tasty - thumbs up all round. Perfect when you want something special but also not too fussy (serving it in bowls with cornbread makes it a great casual meal). I wasn't sure how the recipe given would make it 'spicy' so I added chilli and that gave it a welcome kick. In a way, it tasted a bit like a luxury chilli con carne. I served it with Irish soda farls (which are soft and doughy) rather than cornbread, and that worked very well. You should certainly have the soured cream and coriander on the side for people to add throughout the meal - they might sound unnecessary but they really go well.

  This was really tasty! I did two versions... one as per the original recipe for hubby and an adapted version for me as I am a fish eating veggie. Simply substituted tuna for the beef ( cut an equivalant weight fresh tuna loin steak into cubes) and used veg stock instead of beef. Didn't bother with the coriander or soured cream but both of us really enjoyed it with plain boiled rice. Another simple yet delicious recipe from Good Food - would definitely recommend giving this a whirl.

  Very nice it wasn`t at all spicy as to how I would imagine. I didn`t have cannellini beans so I used kidney beans which worked well. I also added 1 red and 1 yellow pepper. I will definately make this again, yum

  A delicious meal which went really well with the quick chilli cornbread recipe from this site. Although it takes a while to cook, this meal is very straightforward and the result was really warming and tasty.

  I started making this about 9 pm last night without checking the cooking time! So after the searing the meat stage I quickly put the onions and peppers in the pan and then stuck everything in the slow cooker, and made some quick sausages and mash for dinner... We had the stew today after it had been in the slow cooker all night and it was absolutely lovely. The coriander at the end is well worth it. We didn't have any sour cream but used creme fraiche instead which was quite nice.

  This stew was delicious, but I didn't find it very spicy so I added some chilli powder. Will definitely make again, but I will add fresh chilli to it during cooking.

  Just love this dish. Couldn't believe how well the sour cream works. Try it with baked potatoes instead of the cornbread. Real confort food!!

  First time I'd tried this so just did enough for two, used 400gm stewing steak and halved the rest of ingredients except for the onions, garlic and cumin which I used full amount. Result was fab! Will be cooking at least double next time - really simple to make and very tasty!

  I like onions so used two instead of one. I let the whole thing bubble away in my slow cooker for approx 10 hours. I usually find that the flavours improve if you eat a stew etc the following day, so that is what I did. I didn't bother with the peppers, beans, cream or coriander, but it was still superb. I have no doubt that this stew will be making a regular appearance in our house.
