Chef tips
Use only whole black peppercorns, which add a subtle, deep aroma without darkening the stew's colour. Serve this dish with boiled potatoes for a traditional touch. If the children aren't keen on whole peppercorns, you can put them in a small muslin bag and remove it easily before serving.
