Title: Lamb stew
Post by: Northwoods on November 03, 2023, 11:37:33 PM
I’d add a touch of soy sauce next time.  Skipped the mushrooms because, fungus.  The rest is good to go though.  I used mutton, and it needs more cooking time to get tender enough.  But it adds more flavor than lamb.  It was mostly front shoulder I cubed.

That does sound good. And, like you, I pass on the fungoids.
Now imagine that stew with the meat being squirrel, rabbit, or venison.

Venison would be good.  I'd probably go a little lighter on the other flavors for squirrel, and lighter yet with rabbit.  But it would be a good starting point.

I freaking LOVE lamb and mutton stew.

One year I made Guiness Lamb stew for my ex. Turned out really well.

My only problem with beer based braises/stews is any beer good enough to cook with I’d drink rather than cook with. 

My wife gets cheap red wine that I have zero qualms about cooking with however.

Well, I don't like Guiness except when it's cooked in something, so not a problem for me.
