vegan irish stew

This one-pot, hearty Vegan Irish Stew is so flavourful and can be made on the stove, in an Instant Pot, or in a slow cooker. Vegan-friendly Guinness Beer gives an incredibly rich, deep flavour to the gravy and it&#039;s loaded with chunky, sweet, tender vegetables.  Make it with just veg, or add some optional vegan &quot;meat&quot; or mushrooms to make it even more satisfying and flavourful!

Vegan Irish Stew

oil (,

OPTIONAL beefless tips or portobello mushrooms

onion (, diced)

carrots (,

celery (, diced)

garlic (, minced)

all purpose flour (,

330 mls / 11 oz bottle Guinness (, or any dark stout)

potatoes

¼ head green cabbage (, shredded)

/ 960 mls vegetable stock

/ 60 mls soy sauce (, or Tamari)

salt

black pepper

tbsp sugar

bay leaves

x 4 inch sprigs fresh thyme (, or 1 teaspoon dried)

x 4 inch sprigs fresh rosemary (,

In a large Dutch oven or soup pot (that holds at least 6 quarts / 5.7 litres), add the oil and place over high heat.

When really hot add the beefless tips or mushrooms and sear in the pan until golden on all sides. Scoop them out and put in a bowl or on a plate and set them aside until near the end.

Turn the heat down to medium, then to the same pot (don&#039;t clean it .. we want any stuck-on residue for flavour!), add the onions, carrots and celery. You might also need to add a teeny bit more oil depending on the pan you&#039;re using. If you are not using vegan beef, seitan or mushrooms begin with this step, adding the oil and warming the pan first.

Let them sweat down and just as they are beginning to colour add the garlic.

After about 30 seconds add the flour. Stir it around so everything gets coated and let it cook out for a minute or two to remove the raw flour flavour. If you use cornstarch instead of the flour it will get a bit gloopy and weird but don&#039;t worry, once you add everything else it will be fine.

Pour in the Guinness/stout slowly, stirring as you go, then once it&#039;s all in, give it another really good stir to work out most of the lumps. Don&#039;t worry about any small lumps.

Add the rutabaga/swede, potatoes, cabbage, stock, soy sauce, salt, pepper, sugar and herbs and give it a really good stir.

Bring slowly to a boil stirring frequently, then immediately turn down to medium-low and let it simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are soft and the gravy is thick. I like to wait until the potatoes are really soft and just starting to break down before I serve. It will take about 45 to 50 minutes, but you can leave it simmering away much longer if you want to. Just turn it down to low and cover with a lid if it&#039;s going to be significantly longer.

About 10 minutes before you are going to serve, add the beefless tips/mushrooms back in and give it a stir.

If you used fresh herbs be sure to pick out the stalks before serving.

I loved this recipe!! Really affordable to make and sooo creamy &amp; delicious.

I made it with homemade veggie broth, no tomato paste, and substituted sweet potatoes for the potatoes because my son is allergic to nightshades. And since I try to avoid wheat, I used the bit of oat flour I had and some garbanzo flour. It came out wonderful! Thanks for this great recipe, I will make it again and again.

I'm obsessed with this stew!  I made a batch, intending to freeze it, but ended up eating the whole pot in just a few days.  I did substitute a dry red wine (Malbec) for the stout, which added richness and depth, but I'm sure stout or vegetable broth would be just as delicious.  I am making another batch today, and we'll see if any of it makes it to the freezer. 😉 Thank you so much!

Your Vegan Irish Stew recipe is pure comfort food. The combination of herbs and veggies made it so flavourful. Thanks for sharing such a delicious and comforting recipe.

Very moreish stew. Absolutely loved it. Cheers for the recipe,Will definitely be making again.

I think I would omit the Guinness next time. I feel like it gave the stew a bitter aftertaste.  Otherwise it’s great!

Just made the switch to the vegan lifestyle this month. This was one of my first vegan meals, and I ate two bowls so quickly I burned my mouth, haha. Thanks for the recipes!

Looks great but what could I substitute the alcohol with.  I stay away from alcohol.  Thanks

Frugal, filling, and fabulously delicious, my simple vegan Irish stew is really easy to make with just a handful of staple ingredients, and is just the thing to warm you up on chilly autumn evenings!

I made Irish Stew at school with lamb and I have to say I didn't like it. Your recipe looks a lot more appealing and I know my veggie daughter would like this too:-)
