The Loose Women star’s recipe only requires just six ingredients
Ruth Langsford has revealed her favourite recipe for cosy ‘comfort food’ that’s ideal for crisp autumn evenings. Beyond its scrumptious flavour, the Loose Women presenter explained it fills her home with the ‘most amazing smell’ and needs only six essential ingredients to create.
“Hi everybody,” Ruth said in an Instagram post last month. “Well, autumn is upon us – it’s sweater weather. I do like autumn, actually. I love the cosiness of it and all the colours changing. And I love a stew and a casserole, and that’s what I’m going to make today.”
The 65-year-old TV star kicked off her demonstration by showcasing large bowls containing the following ingredients:
- Lamb – a mixture of leg and shoulder (diced)
- Carrots (very chunky but sliced)
- Leeks (very chunky but sliced)
- Chopped potatoes
- Lamb stock (Ruth likes Knorr stock pots)
- Flour seasoned with salt and pepper
Ruth began by tossing her cubed lamb into a bowl of seasoned flour, ensuring it was completely covered. She then transferred portions of this lamb to a hot pan to sear them in batches.
Once the lamb appeared golden brown on the outside, she set this aside on a separate plate. Meanwhile, she softly sautéed the sliced leeks and carrots in the same pot, according to the Express.

After a few minutes, she returned the lamb to the pot alongside the potatoes and stock. Instead of bringing the ingredients to the boil, Ruth recommended simply increasing the heat slightly before transferring everything to the oven.
“I don’t do tiny pieces or it turns to mush,” Ruth wrote. “Everything goes back in the pot with a lamb stock pot, a gentle simmer (don’t boil!), and then into the oven at 170°C for 20 mins, then turn it down and let it slow cook for about 1hr 45 mins.”
The Loose Women presenter hailed her dish as the perfect ‘meal-in-one’ thanks to its satisfying blend of ingredients. She wrote: “It fills the house with the most amazing smell and is just perfect for these dark Autumn evenings, Enjoy!!”
Ruth’s recipe was quickly showered with compliments from fans and celebrity friends alike. Katie Piper, who also frequently appears on Loose Women, said: “Yum.”
Meanwhile, Lucy Alexander, known for previously starring on Homes Under the Hammer, said: “Love the top and can’t wait for supper – see you soon!”
