Sweet Potato And Wild Mushroom Irish Lamb Stew Food

FEEL GOOD SWEET POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the garlic and onions and cook until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, turmeric, coriander and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, beans, coconut milk, vegetable stock and nuts and bring to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender and the liquid thickens, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and season with salt if needed.
• Serve the stew in bowls with lime wedges for squeezing. Garnish with cilantro and hot sauce if using.

SWEET POTATO AND MUSHROOM CARBONARA

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and pass through a spiralizer. You should get about 6 cups of "noodles." Cut the noodles with scissors to make 8- to 10-inch pieces.
• Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper-lined plate, add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the baby kale, red pepper flakes, garlic and some salt and pepper, then cook for 30 seconds just to soften.
• Add the sweet potato noodles and 3/4 cup water to the pan and gently toss to cook the noodles until they are just approaching al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Add an additional 1/4 cup water, if necessary, to "steam" the noodles.
• Beat the Parmesan and eggs together in a bowl. Roughly chop the bacon.
• Turn the heat off under the noodles and add the egg mixture. Toss to coat the noodles well. Top with more cheese and sprinkle with the bacon, lots of cracked black pepper and the chives or parsley.

LAMB STEW WITH SHERRY AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and bacon. When the bacon begins to lightly brown, remove it from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the lamb and let the meat brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside. Chop the bacon into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Add the mushrooms, carrots, garlic, onions and bacon to the pot and stir. Mix in the flour. Add the beef stock, sherry, bay leaves and lamb. Add salt and pepper and cover the pot but leave a vent for the steam to escape. Bring the mixture to a simmer and simmer until the meat is tender and falling apart, about 2 hours.
• Slowly stir in the heavy cream, parsley, tarragon and peas. Serve the stew in shallow bowls over buttered egg noodles.

PALEO BEEF AND SWEET POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Poke holes in the sweet potato halves with a fork. Place on a parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet and bake until fork tender, about 1 hour. Alternatively, microwave on high until the flesh is fork tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
• Tie the sage, thyme and rosemary sprigs together with kitchen twine or a clean rubber band and set aside.
• Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and cook the bacon, stirring often, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and discard all but 1 tablespoon of the pan drippings.
• Pat the beef dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the Dutch oven to the stovetop on medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the meat on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the broth, onions, carrots, celery, tomato paste, garlic and herb bundle. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1 hour on low heat.
• Uncover and cook at a low simmer until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through, 45 minutes.
• Scoop out the flesh from the cooked sweet potatoes and place in a blender. Carefully add 1 cup of the stewing liquid and the cashew butter to the blender, then puree until smooth. Add the puree to the stew and stir well. Simmer to thicken, 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Remove the herb bundle and serve the stew garnished with the bacon bits and parsley leaves.

MUSHROOM-LAMB KOFTA

Steps:

• Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and any liquid released from the mushrooms has cooked off, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate until cooled.
• Soak twelve 6-inch wooden skewers in water (or use metal skewers). Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the lamb, parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, sumac, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the cooled mushrooms and mix well with your hands. Divide the mixture into 12 roughly shaped ovals. Press each oval onto a skewer and form into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangular log (about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide) around the skewer. Transfer to a plate or small baking sheet.
• Brush the grill lightly with olive oil. Grill the skewers, turning once, until the meat is marked and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with hummus, baba ghanoush, pita, tabbouleh and/or yogurt.
