Ingredients

Vegan Protein Options

  • Soya chunks (ideally soaked in vegetable broth first, but this step is optional)
  • Seitan chunks
  • Sons of Butchers vegan beef strips or chunks

Stew

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • One 473 ml can of Guinness OR 480ml (2 additional cups) vegetable broth
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • About 150 gram (1 cup) chopped root vegetables (turnips, parsnips, and/or swede—mix and match or use just one)
  • 500-1000 milliliters (2-4 cups) vegetable broth (start with 500ml and add more as needed toward the end)
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 500 grams (2 cups) vegan protein (choose from the options listed above)
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 160 grams (1 cup) green peas
  • Optional: 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the oil, and once hot, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onions are just beginning to brown.
  2. Sprinkle in the flour. Stir well and cook for another minute to lightly toast the flour.
  3. Slowly stir in the beer and/or vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the pan with your spoon to loosen any browned bits.
  4. Slowly stir in the beer and/or vegetable broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan with your spoon to get any bits off the bottom.
  5. Once it starts to thicken, add all the other ingredients except for the peas.
  6. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the stew becomes too thick to stir easily, add another 240ml (1 cup) of broth or water.
  7. When the vegetables are almost tender, stir in the peas and cook for another 5 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed—you may want to add more salt, depending on the protein and broth you used.
