Hearty Guinness Stew Recipe To Try This St. Patrick’s Day

Ingredients

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups of chopped white onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons powdered cumin
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped thyme
2 russet potatoes, cubed
1 sweet potato, cubed
2 medium carrots, peeled, cut into large chunks
1 1/2 cups Guinness
1 cup button mushrooms, halved

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add in the onions and cook low and slow until they soften and begin to turn gold, about 10 minutes. Add in your garlic and cook with the onions for a couple of minutes. Stir in the salt, cayenne pepper, sugar, cumin, rosemary, and thyme.

Add in the potatoes and carrots and pour in the Guinness along with 1 cup of water. Bring your stew to a simmer, cover and cook for about one and a half hours. Remove the cover, the vegetables should be tender, and the sauce should be a nice deep brown. Throw in the mushrooms and cook the stew on medium heat for another 10 minutes to let the sauce thicken.

Scoop and serve.
