Kellys Witches Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil with a generous dash of sea salt until golden; remove from dish.
• In same pan, sear meat with small dash of sea salt and a pinch of pepper and a generous dash each of LHS and Worcestershire Sauce.
• In a very large stock pot, combine all ingredients and fill with water to 1 1/2 to 2 inches from top rim. Cover with lid.
• Cook over medium high heat, to boiling point. Reduce heat to low and simmer until carrots and potatoes are cooked thoroughly, stirring often, about two (2) hours. Skim as you see fit.
• Serve with rolls, crackers and butter.
• Since this is a Halloween dish, I serve this out of a cauldron with 'spooky' breads and butter.
• To make a hearty Fall Vegetable Stew, add three (3) cups of shredded cabbage to the dish.

Steps:

• In large ziplock baggie or large mixing bowl, combine flour, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and salt.
• Add meat and shake/toss til all is coated.
• In large heavy-bottomed pot that has a lid, brown meat over med-high heat in the 4 tbsp Crisco.
• Add next 8 ingredients, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring only occasionally, til meat is tender.
• Add carrots and potatoes, recover and simmer another 25-30 minutes or til tender.
• Add corn, heat through.
• Remove bay leaf, or, leave it in there and whoever happens to get it has to do the dishes! ;).
• *Can add or sub peas and/or green beans if desired. You can also add 1 rib of celery, sliced, at the same time you add the potatoes and carrots if desired.
• **If you like it on the thick side like we do, just mix 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch with equal amount of cold water (I use 2 tbsp each), stir into pot while simmering to thicken even more. Simmer, stirring, for several minutes. Do this at the very end. Stir gently so you don't wreck the green beans if added.

Steps:

• Dredge stew beef in flour, salt and pepper (ideally use ziplog bag and shake).
• Heat oil in large pan, add meat and a handful of the onions.
• Whilst meat is browning, add lime juice and stir.
• When brown all over (about ten mins) add enough water to cover and stir.
• Bring to boil.
• Add the Oxo/beef bouillon cubes, Worcestershire sauce, all veggies (excluding carrots, corn, green beans and potatoes) and Lipton onion soup and dip mix.
• Cover and simmer for 1 hr and 30 minutes.
• Add potatoes, carrots and tomato puree and continue the simmer a further 40 minutes.
• Add 1 tbsp of flour, mix and let sit for a few minutes to thicken if needed.
• If not to desired thickness add more flour.
• Once thickened, return to heat and add green beans.
• Heat through and serve (good with biscuits!).
