Almost Irish Stew

With the slow cooker doing all the work, you will have time to make a loaf of

soda bread to accompany this “almost Irish” stew. Chunks of seitan may be

substituted for the beans for a “meatier” alternative.

 

Slower Cooker Size: 4 to 6 quart

Cook Time: 6 to 8 hours

Setting: Low

Serves: 4

 

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small yellow onion, chopped

1 ½ cups baby carrots, halved lengthwise

6 very small white potatoes, halved or quartered

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 ½ cups slow-cooked or one 15.5 ounce can cannelloni beans, drained and

rinsed

2 cups vegetable stock

1 bay leaf

¼ cup dry white wine

2 tablespoons tamari or other soy sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 large kale leaves or other dark leafy greens, chopped, cooked in simmering

water to cover until tender, and drained.

 

 

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, cover and

cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the onions to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the carrots,

potatoes, garlic, beans, stock, bay leaf, wine, tamari, and thyme and season

with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.

About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the cooked kale. Serve hot.
