Beef Shin, Chestnuts, Polenta and Gruyere

By Alex Jackson

Beef shin is an ideal cut for a stew like this. It requires no browning, just lots of time; simmering gently into submission.

I've eaten a lot of scones. I've made scones a handful of times. I am not a good cook. I'm not a terrible cook, but I'm definitely more critic than chef! I made these scones, and followed the recipe to a tee - except I used a round ravioli cutter as i didn't have any other options! These are without a doubt the best scones I have ever eaten - and I never say that about my own food. My friend said the same thing - and he too, has never once said that about anything I have made! HIGHLY recommend this recipe!
