when making a speg bol is there anything special you can add to give it the x-factor of speg bols?

Answer 1

definitely add a few gravy granules...you won't regret it, the taste of the meat will be much stronger...and a little rioja usually adds a bit of "zing" too :)

Answer 2

Double concentrate tomato puree is my trick. Sometimes i pre-cook finely chopped carrots and add tem right at the end. You could also add kidney beans (they don't go mushy). Never had anything but complimentsa on my speg bols.

Answer 3

A glass of red wine or a dash of balsamic vinegar. I always put a teaspoon or so of sugar in mine to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes.

Also a couple of teaspoons of Marmite is nice.
