This is traditionally made with lamb since it's cheaper however, beef tastes a lot better and is more readily available in North America I've been told. This is good if you want to feed a family or if you just want to be lazy and eat the same thing for 2 or 3 days. + +Serve with mashed potatoes. + +## Ingredients + +- Lamb shoulder or beef chuck +- Onion, celery, carrot and garlic +- Thyme, rosemary and some bay leaves. +- Beef or [chicken stock](https://based.cooking/chicken-stock-bone-broth.html) +- (Optional) a bottle of stout or porter for some extra flavour. + +## Directions + +1. Cut up the onion, carrot and celery into bite-sized chunks roughly the same size as the meat. The garlic can go in whole. +2. Brown the meat on all sides. Get a large pot with some oil and sear the edges of the meat. Do this in batches and try not to overcrowd the pot. Browning the meat on the outside will give it a much nicer texture when you go to eat this and **should not be skipped for convenience**. +3. Remove the meat and add in the vegetables. Adding some salt will help remove the moisture in the veg and will help deglaze the caramelised bits at the bottom of the pot. +4. (Optional) If you have a Guinness or some other stout add the meat back in an deglaze with about a third of the can. This will add some extra flavour. Wait until the alcohol has completely evaporated until you stir or continue. +5. Add back in the meat and add in the stock and herbs. Lower the heat and allow to simmer for about 2 - 2.5 hours. +6. After 2 hours the stew will be a bit thicker but probably still watery. The easiest thing to do is add some cut up potatoes for the last half hour. The starch will help thicken the stew considerably. Otherwise you can mix a teaspoon of flour with water in a cup and slowly add this to the stew while whisking. + +There you have it, an idiot-proof stew that should taste reasonably well. Besides browning the meat this is really just throwing stuff into a pot in a certain order. This is the kind of dish that tastes better the next day so it's ideal for making on a Sunday and eating for the next 2 or 3 days. + +## Contribution + +- Eoin Coogan - [website](https://eoincoogan.com), [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCehh50T6qtDpt_kEUF33GJw) From 7e20f41adc8e95551b5f3926292b3f1f11b28213 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: CoogyEoin <> Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2021 20:13:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 02/12] Adding link to main index --- src/index.md | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/src/index.md b/src/index.md index 2eadec4..90c52fc 100644 --- a/src/index.md +++ b/src/index.md @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ Only Based cooking.
