Vegan Irish Stew with Guinness
Description
Vegan Irish Stew with Guinness blends a variety of aromatic vegetables—leeks, yellow onion, celery, and carrots—with vegan protein to create a filling stew. The vegetables are caramelized gently to develop sweetness and complexity before adding tomato paste and flour for a thickened base. Fresh herbs contribute earthiness, while Guinness beer and vegetable broth form the liquid component, resulting in a robust and slightly malty broth.
The stew simmers for an hour, allowing flavors to meld and vegetables to soften thoroughly. Pan scraping incorporates the caramelized bits into the broth, enhancing the depth. The panela sugar adds a hint of sweetness to balance the bitter notes of the stout beer. The resulting texture is a thick, stew-like consistency with varied tender vegetable bites and protein pieces.
Typically served with bread or mashed potatoes, it makes a comforting meal. The preparation lends itself to slow cooking techniques for well-developed flavor without requiring frequent stirring. It provides a satisfying option for those seeking a vegan stew that includes the flavor notes associated with traditional Irish stews.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 2 leek
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 celery sticks
- 2-3 carrot
- 320 g Vegan protein
- 1 ½ tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2-3 thyme fresh, stalks
- 1 rosemary fresh, stalk
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 ½ cup Guinness beer canned
- 2 ½ cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon panela sugar
Instructions
- Add some vegan butter or vegetable oil into a cast-iron pot to medium-high heat temperature.
- Add the onion finely chopped and cook for 5-6 minutes until they start to brown. Then add the rest of the veggies roughly chopped, stir and keep cooking for 6-7 more minutes, until they start caramelizing.
- To make sure the veggies won't burn, keep stirring while cooking. Add the vegan protein, herbs, stir and cook for a few minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and flour and stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Add the Guinness and vegetable broth. Make sure you mix all the ingredients well and using a wooden spoon scratch the bottom to make sure all the sweetness from the caramelized vegetables incorporates into the broth.
- Bring to simmer, add the panela sugar or sweetener and cook for an hour with the lid on. Stir every 10-15 minutes.
Notes
- Serve the stew alongside bread or mashed potatoes to complement its rich flavors.
