What is Tatws Pum Munud?
Tatws Pum Munud is a classic stew from Wales, a country in the United Kingdom. Even though it's called "Five-minute potatoes," it actually takes a bit longer to cook! The name comes from how quickly the ingredients can be prepared.
How is it Made?
Unlike many stews, Tatws Pum Munud is usually cooked in a large frying pan on top of the stove. This is because the ingredients are cut into flat slices, not chunky pieces. This way, they can lie flat in the pan and cook evenly.
Key Ingredients
The main ingredients for this stew are:
Sometimes, instead of smoked bacon, people use minced beef. The vegetables are always fresh and sliced thinly.
How is it Served?
Tatws Pum Munud is usually served hot on a plate, not in a bowl like many other stews. It often comes with crusty bread and butter. Many people also like to add Worcestershire sauce to their dish, which might seem a bit unusual for a Welsh meal!
