LIZZIE'S KITCHEN ADVENTURES

BEEF STEW

Max Griffin 🏳️‍🌈 has contributed a wonderful recipe for a beef stew that was inspired by

https://sugarspunrun.com/cozy-beef-stew-recipe/

He did make it his own which I always encourage as there's no right or wrong way when it comes to creating in the kitchen.


He started with diced carrots celery and onions using about 1/2 cup each


When the original recipe called for carrots later in the ingredients, he cut them back and used 1/2 of an acorn squash cut into bite size pieces

He also slightly decreased the amount of potatoes as the squash filled in

Using a 1950s recipe for Swedish Pot Roast that was found in his mother's collection of cookbooks and which apparently does not indicate that the recipe is Actually Swedish, he changed some of the spices to create a new and interesting taste profile


When breading the last beef chunks in flour salt and pepper he added

1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp cardamom


He also added to the beef stock...

1/4 cup brown sugar


He also says that the added spices gave the finished dish a unique and savory flavor 😋

Please try this out and let us know what you think...I was showing my husband who is not vegan and I will be making this for him...he is now like a child around Christmas....so excited to try a new way if making one of his all time favorite foods 😀

Kåre เลียม Enga kindly let us know that the spices added to this recipe from the 1950s recipe book are typical of spices used in Swedish dishes as that culture enjoys some of the sweet warm spices in their foods. Thank you so much for letting us in on that wonderful fact
