I'm having shredded brussel sprouts with bacon along with my corned beef.
Here's a nice stew recipe for you:
- 1 pound boneless lamb or boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 medium onions, cut into wedges
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 medium potatoes (peeled and quartered)
- 6 medium carrots, sliced 1/2 inch thick (3 cups)
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme, crushed
- 1/4 tsp. dried basil, crushed
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Sprigs of fresh thyme (optional)
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine lamb or beef, beef broth, onions, pepper and bay leaf. Bring to boiling and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Skim off the fat.
2. Add the potatoes, carrots, dried thyme and basil. Bring to boiling and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes more or till vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaf and discard.
3. Stir together the cold water and the flour. Stir into the stew. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for one minute more. Season to taste with some salt and pepper. Garnish with the thyme, if you like. Makes 6 servings.
(I always add a little wine (!!!) and it always tastes better the next day.)
A BIG thank you to Mary for being our hostess for Mosaic Monday.
Wishing you well and a JOY filled week!
I could eat that stew right now -- it's damp and chilly and a perfect day for stew...
ReplyDeleteMind you -- shredded brussels sprouts and bacon sounds mighty good too!!!
HB always has corned beef and cabbage on St Patrick's Day. I'll share some of these recipes with him. I won't be eating with him but I will wear green in honor of the day.
ReplyDeleteHi Snap, Hope you are doing okay.. I think about you often. I know how much you must miss your sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaics.. I have Irish in me ---so we'll be celebrating on St. Patty's Day also. Great recipe.

The food photos are great... they make me feel hungry although I've just returned from a wonderful church reception with lots and lots of yummy food. Of course, I had a little bit of everything... which amounted to a whole plate full.
ReplyDeleteThe stew recipe sounds wonderful and will definitely make its way into my recipe collection. Thanks.
Sounds like a great green meal! Can Saint Patrick's Day really be only four days away? :))
ReplyDeleteWishing ye smiles, wishing ye laughter
Wishing ye health and joy ever after!
St. Paddy's day is special to me as my mother came from Ireland. Love the mosaics, so yummy looking.
ReplyDeleteVery cool mosaics...and a great recipe! It doesn't get any better than that! Thanks! ♥
ReplyDeleteWell your tasty post reminded me I need to iron my green blouse to wear on St. Patricks Day. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas on what to eat as well. I've always heard brussel sprouts and bacon went great together, hmmm, might have to try that out!
It all looks delicious! But Corned Beef with Brussels Sprouts and Bacon sounds so good! Happy St Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteGreat mosaics, so yummy! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteLovely mosaic of Irish treats! The green cupcakes look especially good. I love the sound or the shredded Brussels sprouts and corned beef too :)
ReplyDeleteAll those photos of Irish food look so good.
ReplyDeleteThe stew sounds yummy. We've always tried to have corned beef and cabbage although the corned beef these days has more fat than meat.
