my version of guinness stew







This is a recipe my sister made at thanksgiving since i couldn't find the recipe for it in my e-mail I decided to makeshift one from memory. this is my recipe for Guinness stew (lori style)....

1 onion
6 carrot stocks (coarsely Chopped)
3 celery stocks (coarsely Chopped)
4 med potatoes (coarsely Chopped)
1 lb Venice sausage (may also sub beef or lam)
2 links of andouille sausage
4 cloves garlic
1 Tbl garlic powder
1 Tbl Rosemary
2 tsp chili powder
32 oz beef stock
2 8oz bottles of Guinness

First coarsely chop all your vegetables and put them in a large pot then add the beef stock and 1 bottle of Guinness. Let simmer. Next take your meat out of any casing and cook it in a large skillet with your minced cloves of garlic. Cook thoroughly. Befor removing the meat add half of the second bottle of Guinness to the pan to de-glaze it. Then add the rest of the ingredients and the meat in with the vegetables in the large pot. let cook on med low heat for 1-2 hours or until vegetables are soft.

Throw in a side of your favorite bread and you have a great home style meal. Perfect for a brisk day.

Its been a while!

As I'm sure you have noticed it has been almost a year since I have posted anything to my spot. This past year has been a whirlwind I have found many new recipes that I would love to share with all of you. As for my life I have yet again moved from one stepping stone to another. I am soon going to be a proud baker at Henri's in Atlanta Georgia. As such I will start a new chapter in my life. I hope you will all come along for the ride.
