  Have made this twice now and its sure to become a staple favourite over winter. I use with potaoes to pad out for lunches as well as dinners served with feta cheese.

  This was one of the nicest stews I�ve ever made. It was so easy and cheap to make, yet packed with lovely flavours. I served it with creamy mashed potato and some steamed veg. Can�t wait to make again!

  Delish - I added feta as recommended and served with cous cous and green beans.

  Really tasty and easy to prepare, the meat was so tender. It's nice to have dinner cooking away whilst you're busy doing other things! Didn't put the feta on as we forgot and we felt it was missing an extra oomph, so maybe this will help. Delicious!!

  Perhaps my spicing was a tad generous.... but I didn't think so at the time - but this was SPICY; and I like my chilli. I'd added some flour to try and thicken the sauce and also added a rich beef stock cube to take away the tangy tinned tomato taste that seemed destined to drag on. Then having tasted it a good hour later, in order to cater to my delicate ;-) palette (erhem) IN went a good blob of sour cream to try and even it out. I'd say average because I'm not certain that I did screw up on the spicing and I had to add to and adapt the recipe to make it palatable....

  I never can understand recipes for beef stews etc. that call for tins of tomatoes going in, as they are overpowering and would dominate the finished dish, personally I wouldn`t use them in a straight forward stew or casserole but keep them for chillis and curries.

  Also notice that although the above recipe is called "smoky beef stew" the ingredients ask for sweet paprika, surely it should be smoked paprika? None of the other ingredients will give the dish a smoky flavour.

  We picked this because it sounded easy to make and reasonably healthy. We weren't disappointed. It was remarkably easy and produced a very tasty stew. We found it best eaten with couscous and feta. More veg would have given it 5stars.

  This was very easy but rather unexciting. I used slightly less meat (820g) but we only got 5 portions of this. Served with the lime pickled onions, sour cream and rice.
