Here is an easy recipe to try.
400 grms shin beef or ox cheek, cut into bite size pieces.
I chopped onion
1 litre beef stock.
2 level tblspns plain flour
sliced carrots, or swede
half a cup of lentils.
Cover the beef in flour and brown in oil, in a frying pan. Transfer to a casserole dish. or slow cooker.
Soften the onion , in the same pan, stir in the flour to make a smooth paste ( add more oil if needed) then slowly stir in the stock, bring to the boil and add to the casserole.
add carrots, lentils and as many of these as you want...
broccoli chopped in bite size pieces including the stalk, a cup of frozen peas ( but only add them an hour before the end of cooking), a cup of green beans cut into bite size, 3 sticks of celery cut bite size and chopped cauliflower.( All are high in folic acid)
Season the casserole to your taste ( and you can always add a drop of gravy browning if it looks too pale). Stir it all together and add dried herbs if you like them. then slowly cook at 150 C for about 3 hours ( or all day if you use a slow cooker). Check during cooking to make sure it doesn't dry, and if you think it will just add a little boiled water.
You can serve it in a bowl and freeze the rest for another meal when it cools.
If you like pickled beetroot ( also high in folates) or red cabbage, you can put some on the top.
This type of meal is the easiest way to keep your folic acid intake higher.
