I wasn't going to post these until I'd tried them... So ... I tried them both last night, and my husband raved. (So did I... modest, eh?) Thanks to Gilthalion for suggesting Walnut Oil, I like it.

Mrs. Pansy Furrow's Mutton and Mushrooms: Fry up a vidalia onion, chopped, in some Walnut oil. Add chopped mutton (I used Lamb cut off of a lamb shank... need **sharp** knife.) Add mushrooms and white wine.
(warning: you either like mutton or you don't.)

Bolco Took's Cabbage and Roots:
In large pot: some walnut oil and/ or some butter. I used 3 tbsp each. Add two chopped Vidalia onions. Then add 2 chopped turnips; 3 chopped potates; carrots; half a small head of cabbage, chopped. Add white wine whenever you need more liquid. Cook til cabbage is tender. Salt & pepper to taste.
(You could also use beets; rutabagas... whatever. Roots. )

Prevent husband from eating entire pot. Smile.
