Beefy Bread Baskets

You can’t deny that winter is the season that we find and need comfort.  The frosty weather make our houses homes, with cozy fireplaces or heaters warming up our living spaces, luxurious bedding and blankets engulfing us.

We get lured back into our kitchens were we prepare soothing soups and stews for our families, enjoying comforting warming meals together.

Beefy Bread Baskets

Our happy place.

There is nothing more satisfying than enjoying a comforting meal in winter.  This recipe of Beefy Bread Baskets sure speaks of comfort.  Soft freshly baked bread buns, filled to the rim with flavoursome beef and vegetable stew, complimented with a curry crème – warming aromas that fill the entire house (and tummies) with comfort.

And yes – I baked my own bread buns guys, and so can you:

It is a perfect meal for a lazy and chilly Sunday lunch. There is some time in the preparation, but you can easily cut down on it by using store bought buns instead of homemade ones. But where’s the fun in that, right?

Beef Stew

  5. To thicken the sauce, you can crush or mash some of the cooked turnips and stir it in the sauce.

Curry Creme

  2. Remove from heat and add the milk, whisking to avoid curdling.
To Serve
  1. Open the tops of the bread buns, by gently removing the top layer of bread, you can remove a bit of bread inside to form a cup.
