Why We Love This Recipe!
- A simple one-pot recipe that makes preparation and clean-up a breeze!
- This veggie-packed food-based Irish stew makes a healthy addition to your diet.
- This recipe is perfect for any type of cooking (new to being a chef) and uses easy-to-find, everyday ingredients!
Ingredient Notes
- Aromatics—usually a combination of onions, celery, carrots, and garlic—make a great base for the stew’s taste, texture, and color.
- Mushrooms – Mushrooms are meaty and rich in vitamins, making them an excellent substitute for meat often found in Irish stews.
- Potatoes – For more flavor you can use your favorite potatoes or whatever you have on hand. We recommend red, white or Yukon as it will hold its shape as it cooks. And you don’t have to strip it!
- Guinness – we love the pungent smell of a bottle of black bear added to the stew. You can skip the beer and use vegetable broth or water if you prefer.
- Vanilla – A simple blend of vanilla, thyme and rosemary. Available both fresh and dry. We use fresh herbs and after cooking we remove all the stems.
- Flour – We use whole wheat flour, but whole wheat, wheat flour, or buckwheat flour works as well.
Adjusting For Dietary Restrictions
- Gluten-Free: To make the Guinness Casserole recipe gluten-free, use a 1-to-1 GF flour mix or oatmeal.
- Gluten Free: Use canned pumpkin puree, pumpkin puree, or mashed potatoes instead of tomatoes. Use white potatoes or Jerusalem artichokes instead of potatoes.
- Fat Free: Always use water instead when sautéing.
