Boy it’s getting cold so this slow cooker is my new best friend! Apart from taking the stress out of meal time, it really does SAVE TIME and who does not need more hours in the day. The original recipe requires red wine but as I am yeast intolerant and my kids eat this I have left this out so you add it in if you like. The beans add a lovely dimension to this hungarian inspired dish and really balance your blood sugar and keep you fuller for longer. I am not a big fan of red meat but the hubby loves it so I try to make it at least once a week plus the kids love potatoes otherwise I would have used sweet potato:-)
