[Waiter, there's something in my ...] – Melt-in-your-mouth shin stew

As I said a few entries before, I wanted to attend the newly established blogging event “waiter, there’s something in my…“.

One reason is that I need to polish my written english a little more :blush: and the other is to be forced to try out new recipes more often this year.

For this I flipped through my cook books :^^: a little bit and found at Jamie Oliver’s “Cook with Jamie” a womderful stew.
