This is a recipe I have been refining for over a year now... enjoy.

Vegan Irish Beef Stew

· 4 medium size potatoes (or 8 baby potatoes)
· ½ cup chopped celery
· ½ cup chopped carrots
· 1 cup of chopped onions
· 2 12-oz containers of Ray's seitan (do not drain)
· 12 oz of yards love stout or IPA or other dark beer
· 3 cloves of crushed garlic
· 1 teaspoon dried sage
· 1 teaspoon dried thyme
· 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
· 1 quart vegetable stock* (Emeril's makes an excellent stock)
· 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
· 1 16 oz bag frozen peas
· 1 tablespoon low-salt tamari
· A couple dashes of liquid smoke
· 1 tablespoon olive oil
· Pepper to taste


Tip: Get your produce from a cheap produce store. No salt needed as
many of the ingredients (stock, Worcestershire sauce, tamari, etc.)
already contain a good amount of salt.

Directions:

1. Heat large pot on high and add tablespoon of olive oil.
2. Add celery, onion, carrots, and a small amount of stock. Add pepper
to taste. Sauté on medium heat for a few minutes.
3. Add garlic, sage, thyme, potatoes, some of the stock, and half
bottle of stout or IPA. Stir for a few minutes.
4. å
5. Add the rest of the stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and
add the rosemary sprig.
6. After 5 minutes remove rosemary sprig and add the peas. Add the
last half bottle of IPA. Reduce and serve.

Optional: Once reduced enough mash some of the potatoes and peas in the
pot with a spoon. This will give the stew a thicker and starchier
texture.

*For a more earthy stew, include some mushroom stock or broth.

Serves 6-8

This is an oxymoron if I ever heard one. What's BEEF about this? What's
beef about vegan? Hmmmm.

I give up. What's Ray's seitan?


And it is vegetable stew not beef stew.
Otherwise I will post my delicious lobster stew which does not contain
any traces of lobster....

Um, where's the beef?!?!? And what makes it Irish, because it's drunk
as a skunk... what a waste of beer.... what a waste of a year.

Neither of these are vegan - beer has yeast in it, and Wooster has
anchovies (use Magi.)

Now if you could just work on the name. There is no beef in it, and Irish stew
is made with lamb. Why not just call it No-Crust Chicken Pot Pie?

You are missing suspension of disbelief :-)

IPA = India PALE Ale, and is not a dark beer.

Vegan Beef Stew is just a bad idea. If you really are a Vegan, why are
you making meat recipes ? Why not cook vegetable recipes ? I actually
enjoy the vegetarian dishes from Indian cooking, but cannot stand the
vast majority of Vegan meatless-meat recipes. Tofurkey sucks, but tofu
is fine in Chinese recipes. And I'd rather just eat bean burritos than
have that fake meat crap they make for vegatarian taco filling.

Summary : Fake meat is worse than no meat. Real meat is better than
either. And Tofurkey sucks !

a little bacon in your aloo mater ?

I never got the "mock" thing with food, why not just name it for the main
ingredient or whatever...

Years ago in some hippie vegan place I saw one of the menu items was a
"Mockburger". Yeah, that sounds *real* tasty...

Damn! I just washed this keyboard!

Seitan is, of course, a gluten product that "replaces" meat. Ray's
brand is advertized as "Wheat Meat" (no, really.) It has soy and
seaweed added for flavour. There are worse things you can eat.

I'm confused, who exactly is making you eat something you don't want to eat?
Or are you just being a cockbite about something that does not affect you in
any way?

Just wonderin'
