Beef stew
 
I have been remiss in grocery shopping. I am out of all but Carrots,
Potatoes, Bell Peppers, Mushrooms, and onions.

Plotting a beef stew. Kinda matches what I have here. Lots of spices,
and other types of staples.

Any special ideas you like? Too late to add other veggies but will
develop recipe as I go.

Potatoes went south. Humm. Oh well. It's going.

Don was adding things as I was so no 'recipe' really. It's carrots,
onions, mushrooms, beef, beef broth, a bit of worchestershire, black
whiskey smoked pepper, fresh garlic, and bay leaves. Don says he added
a turnip (small). We shall see!

Be glad to see what others may have done too. Work and other life
concerns had me not shopping much recently. I have a gadzillion
staples, frozen, and canned things though.

I didn't but it would have been a good addition! WEnt to far the other
direction now to shift it I think.

I was also considering a can of chopped tomatoes as suitable but Don
wanted the broth sort.

Potatoes start to sprout long before they go south. At least in my
house. When They start to sprout is a good indication for me to use
'em or lose 'em.

I once had the idea to have a clove flavored stew. I made it and it turned out exactly as I envisioned it. What I didn't foresee was the negative reaction to it. These days, I don't add cloves to stews.
What I'd like to see is Japanese roux cube in the stores that you'd use for stews and curries. You can get roux cubes at the market but they flavored. A non-flavored roux cube would allow one to get a thick and smooth stew after you've started - a great convenience. OTOH, I could probably just make some myself.

You should have asked me because as soon as I read about your making it
I sort of cringed. That being said, it is the primary spice in a French
Canadian tortierre.

Oh, no harm, no foul. Once done, we'll all see i it came out ok.
Wasn't my normal sort.. Ideas to make it better or take a different
direction are very welcome!

A meat pie is a good idea always. I have made something is a similar vein. There was no cloves in it because those days are gone. Cloves have fallen out of my favor - except maybe in pumpkin pie.

..... where it goes perfectly with the pork. But then cloves stuck in
the fat, are great in ham. Cloves also go with apple which also goes
with pork ; must be some flavour-combining magic going on there.

Cloves and pig good. Cloves and cow bad.
Apple and pig good. Apple and beef bad.

A little water and cornstarch should suffice, or maybe water and flour

I use that slurry a lot in my cooking. A Japanese roux-based stew is a higher level refinement. It's pretty awesome!

It is Asian but that's not relevant at all - except to racist dirtbags. Mostly it's a technique that's unknown to Americans - adding a roux after the stew is made. I also like the Japanese/Hawaiian cooking styles of not using any herbs in stews or most dishes.

But I meant "Asian" as a positive, not a negative. Or is that racist
towards whitefellas and blackfellas?

I like the idea quite a bit:

https://youtu.be/leW4q0iv4V8

But is there a non-curried Japanese roux if one prefers for beef stew?

I had the idea it might use rice flour or some such.

Too gritty?

Can one make a grits-based roux?

All I can find is:

Which I would 'wolf' down...

You don't know anything about it. Lots of cooks in the U.S. and Europe add
a roux after the stew is made.

I've never heard of a grits-based roux. I like the idea though. The next time I make a chili, I'll use a cornmeal roux. Ha ha, that's just nutty enough to work!

Came out well! More like a 'Pot Roast Soup' but very tasty!

I made up 2 cups of corn (frozen) and some potato flakes gotten today
and used a slotted spoon to ladle it over then added some broth.

Perhaps not at all classic but, worked just fine.

PS: I will remember the hint of curry suggestion next time. Might be
interesting!
