STEP 1: Heat the oil in a saucepan and when it’s warm add the white spring onion slices. Fry them for one minute until they’re soft. After this add the potatoes and swede and cook for a further 2-3 minutes then add the chicken, mustard and stock. Cover and cook for 35 minutes or until the chickens cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

STEP 2: Add the cabbage and let it simmer for a further 5 minutes. If the stew looks too thin mix cornflour with 1tbsp of cold water and pour a couple of teaspoons into the pan; let the stew bubble and thicken, if it’s still to thin add more cornflour and let it bubble and thicken again.

STEP 3: Season to taste, then spoon the stew into bowls. Scatter over the green spring onion slices and then it’s ready to go!
