chocolate stout stew

(serves two people, no leftovers.)

chocolate stout stew

2 tsp olive oil
1/2 small red onion
1 small potato, cubed
3 medium carrots, sliced
beef broth
1/2 cup chocolate stout
2 tbsp whole-wheat flour

First, cut up the onion and peel the potatoes and carrots. Put a small pot on the stove and the olive oil to heat on medium-low. Start cutting up the potatoes and carrots, but watch the pot -- when the oil heats up, add the onion and stir a bit. Finish cubing the vegetables and add them to the pot. Add enough beef broth to cover the vegetables. Add the chocolate stout next. Boil for 20 minutes. Add the flour (you can take a bit of the broth and first dissolve the flour in that before adding it to the pot). Cook until thick (another ten minutes or so).

Don't play video games while cooking this -- it burns quickly!
