BEEF AND PLUM STEW (INSPIRED BY THE HUNGER GAMES)



Beef and Plum Stew (Inspired by the Hunger Games) image

I experimented with the ingredients that I had in an attempt to make a stew that resembled the lamb and plum stew from 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins. The stew in the book used lamb, but I opted to use beef since it's easier to find. It's rich, warms your belly, and super easy to make if you've got time to let it simmer. I like to serve it with a loaf of French bread, but goes well with mashed potatoes as well.

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

5 pounds lamb fillet, shoulder or leg, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup water
4 cups beef stock
2 teaspoons white sugar
3 teaspoons brown sugar
3 cups diced carrots
1 cup diced zucchini
1 1/2 cups diced celery
2 large onions, diced
3 potatoes, cubed
5 cups dried plums
2 teaspoons dried thyme
3 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
2 bay leaves
1 cup ginger ale

Steps:

  • 1. Place lamb, salt, pepper, and flour in a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat meat evenly.
  • 2. Heat olive oil in a large pan and brown the meat, working in batches if you have to.
  • 3. Remove lamb to a side plate. Pour off fat, leaving 1/4 cup in the pan. Add the garlic and onion and sauté until the onion becomes golden. Deglaze frying pan with the 1/2 cup water, taking care to scrape the bottom of the pan to stir up all of the tasty bits of meat and onion. Cook to reduce liquid slightly, then remove from heat.
  • 4. Place the lamb and garlic-onion mixture in a large stockpot. Add beef stock and sugar, stirring until sugars are dissolved. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and simmer for 1-1/2 hours.
  • 5. Add the vegetables, dried plums, herbs, and ginger ale to the pot. Simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until meat and vegetables pierce easily with a fork.

Tips:

  • To make the stew more flavorful, use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • If you don't have any plums, you can use another type of fruit, such as apples or pears.
  • For a thicker stew, add a cornstarch slurry or flour mixture.
  • Serve the stew with a side of bread or rice.

Conclusion:

This beef and plum stew is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter night.
