Back again to present my take on another dish, the Guinness Stew. A good stew is just great in cold weather and sure lifts the mood!
Guinness Stew
Ingredients:
- 500g Beef (not too expensive)
- 2 - 3 Carrots
- 2 - 3 Onions
- 2 - 3 Pieces of Celery
- 2 - 3 Cloves of Garlic
- 2 - 3 Potatoes
- 1 - 2 Pints of Guinness
- ~ 5dl Beef Stock
- 2 Bay Leaves
- Salt
- Oil
- Grounded Pepper
Cooking:
- Dice and salt the meat. Fry well in small batches with some oil in a big pot.
- Put browned meat aside. Don't clean the pot or throw away any juices!
- Chop the vegetables and sauté them.
- Deglaze with the Guinness.
- Add meat, pepper, beef stock and bay leaves. Add more spices as you like (I used some thyme and rosemary).
- Cook on small heat for at least two hours or until the meat is very tender, the more the better.
- Serve and enjoy!
Sources: I once was at Dublin with some friends and we sat in the pub just below our hostel until like 4 o'clock in the morning. We returned the next day for lunch and got served some that Guinness Stew (and absolutely loved it!) and asked for the recipe. Best decision ever! :)

I would share some of my amazing recipes...if I had any.
I will however tell you how to make my favourite comfort food
• Put bread under the grill and toast on one side.
• Turn the bread over and smother with Marmite ensuring you cover the whole slice right to the corners
• Slice/grate some cheddar, place on the bread and melt under the grill.
• Open a can of baked beans and heat. Add Worcestershire sauce to taste.
• Pour beans over the toast and enjoy.
You can thank me later ;)

You lost me at marmite...

Well, obviously you have at least one recipe ;)
The simple stuff usually is the best, so I'll definitely give it a try!
I have no idea where to get Marmite around here though, probably need something to substitute it :/
Could anyone describe the taste, or even give something that tastes similar?

It is a yeast extract paste with a strong teaser that separates society, you either love it on hate it. Vegemite is an alternative product but I personally don’t think it is half as good at marmite.
