[amd-yrecipe-recipe:1] MEDIUM Servings: 4 Ready In: 20 minutes Ingredients 5 oz. portabella mushrooms 8 oz. cremini mushrooms 1 medium onion 1 medium carrot 2 tbsp. brown rice flour 12-ounce bottle Belgian-style pale ale 2 bay leafes 1 tsp. dried thyme 2 cups Veggie “Beef” Stock 1/2 cup frozen peas Chopped chives, for garnish How it’s Done To prepare the mushrooms: Cut the mushrooms into one-bite chunks. With small mushrooms, you can leave them whole, but separate the stems. Scoop out the gills of the Portabella mushrooms. A large spoon is usually the best tool for this. Preheat a large pot over high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and leave alone. Let the mushrooms sear, about 7 minutes, on one side before flipping. Continue until well-browned To start the Stew: Cut the onion into 1/2- thick slices, from tip to root Peel and cut carrot into 1/2-inch thick batons When the mushrooms are brown all over, add the carrots and onions and brown over high heat, 3-5 minutes, stirring often. When onions are brown around the edges, add the brown rice flour. Stir well and toast over the medium-high heat until there is no white visible. Add the beer. Maybe take a sip or two — quality control.
