Being a mixed-breed girl, I've always had a difficult time identifying with certain countries as my "own." But I remember the first time I took a sip of Guinness and never felt more Irish in my life. In terms of my heritage, the largest portion of my inheritance (so to speak) is Irish. So I basically took that and ran with it.
Going vegetarian never really affected my relationship with food, and so when I got the urge to make an Irish Guinness Stew, I made a goddamn Irish Beefless Guinness Stew. I used a few pointers from three different recipes, but as I do with most of my cooking, I mostly improvised. And damn if this stew didn't turn out delicious.
The recipe and ingredients are after the jump!
