Irish stew.


This is the same stew I made last year. It cooked overnight for 11 hours. It is super rich, flavorful and tender. I based it off the recipe I saw at a blog called "It doesn't taste like chicken".
Here's what I did:

1. Prep 3 potatoes peeled and cut into chunks, 3 carrots cut into chunks, 1 rutabaga peeled and cut into chunks.
2. In a pan, prepare 3 Boca Turky burgers by frying them in a little oil on both sides so they brown. Take them out of the pan and in the same pan fry 1/4 of a chopped onion and a carton of sliced Cremini mushrooms, add a little soy sauce and fry until onions are translucent and mushrooms are cooked.  Cut up the burgers into chunks and add to the pan and cook for a little while longer or until burgers are cooked and no longer frozen. Set aside.
3. Sauté 3/4 of the remaining chopped onion and two sliced leeks in oil until translucent.
4. In a bowl, add 3 cups of vegetable broth, 2 oz. tomato paste, 2 tsp sugar, 1 TB soy sauce, 1-2 tsp mixed herbs of choice (parsley sage rosemary and thyme), 2 TB nutritional yeast, salt and pepper.
5. Layer in crockpot: potatoes, rutabaga, carrots. Mix them up a bit. Then add leek and onions, then cover with the burger chunks/mushrooms. Pour the broth mixture over and cook on low for 11 hours. You may need to adjust salt to taste after its finished cooking.
