Arghh. STEW.!!
As me dear ol' Mum used to use... PEARL BARLEY... Absolutely makes a stew. Wonderful texture.
In my local Waitrose they have the usual selection of dry aged beef cuts etc.... Now and then they sell offcuts of said meats at silly money... £3-50 KG. eg..trim off fat and make stew as normal..... Guaranteed the best you'll ever make...... With a couple of homemade dumplings of course!!!

Brown some chicken thighs in a pan with some seasoning and maybe some tarragon. Add to the slow cooker along with half a can of cider and a third of a pint of chicken stock. Then, using the same pan, fry some bacon / pancetta / lardons along with a sliced leek and a sliced apple, then add to the slow cooker and leave for a couple of hours. Thicken the sauce with some cornflour towards the end if you want to. Serve with some roast potatoes and some green veg. Absolute treat.
