In the Emerald Isle, a wealthy, savory Guinness stew—made with greens, beer, beef, and mashed potatoes—is widespread pub meals. I’ve been to Ireland, and I like a Guinness beer each on occasion. So, I funneled that Irish inspiration into a very plant-based (vegan) model of Irish Guinness Stew, that includes tempeh and a great deal of veggies. It’s a simple, one-dish meal—good as a St. Patrick’s day recipe or any day of the yr—that’s pure consolation meals bliss. All it’s a must to do to make this Vegan Guinness Stew is to create a thick vegetable stew with carrots, onions, celery, peas, and tempeh—with a tomato and Guinness beer broth. Place the stew within the backside of a baking or casserole dish. Then mash up some potatoes shortly to “frost” the highest of the stew. Pop it into the oven to get all golden brown and melty, and you’ve got a superb one-dish meal on the desk very quickly.
Just pair this Vegan Guinness Stew dish with a cabbage salad and also you’re set to go to your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, or a easy one-dish meal any night time of the week. As another, you may make particular person small “pies” of this stew by dividing the stew and mashed potatoes amongst 4 oven-proof soup bowls or soufflé dishes. This is an absolute favourite dish in my family. My boys adore it, as they did on their first journey to Ireland years in the past. If you’d like to vary up the elements a bit, you possibly can attempt heirloom carrots in yellow or purple for an added little bit of coloration, and zucchini or broccoli as a substitute of the peas.
I exploit tempeh on this recipe, as it’s a fabulous plant-based protein created from fermented soy and grain—it’s tremendous straightforward to only cube and throw into casseroles, corresponding to this dish. You can discover it at most supermarkets. If you wish to skip tempeh, you possibly can merely change it with diced tofu or one canned of beans, corresponding to chickpeas, kidneys, or white beans.
