Ya’ll know the way a lot I really like St. Patrick’s Day.

I’ve such fond reminiscences rising up of spending St. Paddy’s Day at my grandparent’s home, consuming corned beef and cabbage and listening to all of the Irish jigs and ballads. It was a enjoyable and energetic celebration and I attempt to recreate that yearly at dwelling. It looks as if the final couple years we’ve had journey over St. Paddy’s weekend although, leaving me to make our Irish feast both just a little early or belated.

Final yr we celebrated early, simply Steve and I. I made corned beef and cabbage within the gradual cooker (my first time consuming corned beef in 18 years!), my Irish soda bread (and if you’d like the recipe for entire wheat Irish soda bread, I’ve received you), and we had aged cheddar cheese from Eire with the colours of the Irish flag on the rind (I’m a sucker for tacky – haha pun not meant – issues like that). Oh, and naturally, Guinness.

A pair days later, as Boston received hit with 15+ inches of snow, I broke out the On the spot Pot to check one other St. Patrick’s Day favourite, Guinness Beef Stew. Now, if you’d like a plant-based model, I’ve received an superior recipe for vegetarian Irish Guinness Lentil Stew.

And if you happen to’re considering the place did this come from and also you missed my submit on why I began consuming meat once more, make sure you test that out for some background.

I imply, it’s the starting of spring subsequent week, proper? Though, I’m conscious that in Boston which means nothing. We’ve been recognized to see snow in April.

This stew was so satisfying although. Steve truly ate it for lunch AND dinner, that’s how a lot he loved it. I’ve a factor about consuming the identical factor twice in sooner or later (I get bored and I like selection) in any other case I in all probability would have too. This stew is tremendous simple to make within the On the spot Pot, though you would simply convert it to a gradual cooker recipe, simply brown the meat and mushrooms individually earlier than including it to the gradual cooker. 

I LOVE all the taste on this stew – not solely from the Guinness, however the fragrant veggies, Dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and thyme. It’s like all of the savory flavors mixed into one stew. MMMMMM. Serve this with some soda bread or I might additionally see this being actually scrumptious served on high of mashed potatoes. Yessssss. Or, if you happen to wanna be actual Irish, serve it on high of my vegan cauliflower colcannon.

Whether or not you’re Irish otherwise you similar to an excuse to take a automobile bomb with your folks (no judgments) on St. Paddy’s Day, this recipe is for you.
