Chuck the meat in a pan with hot oil to brown.
Swap the meat for roughly chopped onion and carrots.
Throw the browned meat and veggies into a slow cooker with some herbs. Add the guinness.
Drink the remainder of the guinness. Try not to think about the fact that it's 1pm on a Sunday afternoon, you're wearing last nights makeup, pyjamas and drinking alcohol.
Let the stew slow cook for 3-4 hours. Try to stay awake while knitting a hat using double pointed knitting needles for the first time.
Bung in some mushrooms during the last hour of cooking.
Get dressed
Serve with mashed sweet potatoes and mashed parsnips.
This is a great hearty recipe if you like guinness. It tasted too much like guinness for my liking.
Don't forget to kiss your cook; unless she's passed out, then just leave her alone!
Step 2.5: remember to wipe off camera lens to prevent foggy carrot and onion photo :)
ReplyDeleteDouble point needles, yikes!! I do everything possible to avoid those! Freestyle knitting, baby!
I like to dredge the meat in seasoned flower before browning it. Because then as it cooks, it helps thicken the stew. We tend to use broth and red wine and sometimes molasses.
