Stew fans,
Same recipe as last time (alas btc, sans celery because I didn’t have any), but a little different order of operations for a texture mix I prefer (prior version was delicious, but all the veg was pretty uniformly soft).
Phase one: browned meat, Worcestershire, fish sauce, thyme, bay leaves, tomato paste, beer, broth
Phase one point five whenever it’s ready: add sautéed onion and garlic
Phase two after about an hour: add raw new potatoes, lightly sautéed carrots (a little color on them and just slightly softened), chopped parsley
Phase three after about 90m: add mushrooms sautéed in butter
Phase four after about 1h45: add blanched pearl onions and frozen peas
Finished at 2h
Meat and potatoes are totally tender, slight bite in the carrots and mushrooms, little more bite in the Pearl onions and peas. Adjust timing accordingly for your preference!
Didn’t take pics because it looks the same as last time except for brighter peas. But here’s the meat and beer before tossing the broth in:
Would prob be pretty good to just simmer that with some broth (maybe some garlic and/or onion too) and serve with some roasted or mashed potatoes.
