Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced 1-inch thick (about 1 cup)
  • 2 large carrots, cut into large chunks (about 1 cup)
  • 1 pound large mushrooms, halved or quartered, depending on size
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Guinness beer, or other stout beer (see note)
  • 2 pounds small yellow or red potatoes, halved (about 5 cups)
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into large chunks (about 2 cups)
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ cup chopped flat leaf parsley
  • kosher salt
  • pepper

Equipment

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a dutch oven (or other large pot) over medium heat.
  • Add onions, celery, and carrot to pot. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then cook until onion is translucent, stirring frequently (about 5 to 7 minutes).
  • Increase heat to medium-high, then add mushrooms to pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender, any liquid they release has evaporated, and veggies are starting to brown (about 7 to 10 minutes).
  • Mix in garlic, then cook until fragrant, stirring constantly (about 30 seconds).
  • Add Guinness, then stir well, scraping up anything that's stuck to the bottom of the pot. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until beer is reduced by about half (3 to 5 minutes).
  • Mix in potatoes, parsnips, broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then cover pot, leaving a small crack. Reduce heat to a simmer, then cook for about 20 to 25 minute or until the veggies are tender.
  • Stir in parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve stew hot. Enjoy!
