Yummy Meatless Irish Stew

(Recipe from Sam Turnbull, It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken)

 Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 package of Beyond Meat-Impossible-or-Boca Plant Based Crumbles
  • 2 stalks of chopped celery
  • 1 chopped yellow onion
  • 4 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 2 to 4 cups of vegetable broth
  • 3 peeled carrots, cut into chunks
  • 2 peeled parsnips, cut into chunks
  • 8 ounces of quartered mushrooms
  • 2 1/2 cups of halved baby potatoes
  • 1/2 cup of tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons of brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper

  Directions

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When hot, add plant based crumbles, add the celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and just begins to brown. This should take about five minutes.
  2. Sprinkle in the flour. Stir well to coat the veggies, and cook for another minute to heat up the flour. Add 2 cups of vegetable broth and stir.
  3. Add all of the remaining veggies, tomato paste, and spices. Bring the pot to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until the veggies are fork-tender, but not mushy. The stew will be very thick! For a thinner stew, feel free to thin it out to taste with 1 to 2 more cups of vegetable broth.
  4. Remove bay leaves before serving, and serve hot.
