ST.
ST. PATRICK'S DAY IS JUST A FEW DAYS
AWAY AND JUST LIKE EVERYTHING,
IT'S GOING TO LOOK A LITTLE
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. TODAY WE'RE
GETTING SOME IDEAS
FOR CELEBRATING AT HOME WITH AN
AUTHENTIC IRISHMAN AND A GUY
WHO'S ABSOLUTELY ARIETE.
>> JOHN COSGROVE OF COSGROVE
PRESENTS. AND YOU HAVE
A BEAUTIFUL STEW TO MAKE FOR US
TODAY AS WELL AS SOME GREAT
THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO AT HOME.
>> AND BETTER SAFE FOR COVID,
RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. 100 %. HI,
EVERYBODY. WELCOME TO ST.
PATRICK'S DAY. OF COURSE,
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR OLLOFF
IRISH PEOPLE WITH ALL
THE CULTURE AND TRADITION THAT'S
GOING ON AROUND US AND PATRICK'S
DAY. AND WHAT BETTER WAY
TO CELEBRATE COVID OR NO
COVID WITH SOME TASTY FOOD?
>> WELL , I LOVE YOUR THE STEW
THAT YOU'VE ALREADY GOTTEN
TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE TWO
BOTTLES OF BEER THERE, WHICH IS
A GREAT PLACE TO START .
>> IRISH TRADITION OF ITS
NATURE, DAVE IS PRETTY
STRAIGHTFORWARD. I MEAN,
CARROTS, POTATOES, MUSHROOMS,
SOME CELERY. THE REAL DIFFERENCE
IS GOING TO CROMAN THOSE SPECIAL
INGREDIENTS. AND I LIKE
TO INCORPORATE A LITTLE BIT
OF AN ITALIAN TWIST TO IT
BECAUSE WE LEARNED FROM
OUR ITALIAN NEIGHBORS TOMATO
PASTE ADDS A LITTLE BIT MORE
DEPTH TO IT. YES, YOU MENTIONED
WE HAVE THE BOTTLE OF BEER AS
WELL . DON'T WORRY FOR THOSE
OF YOU AT HOME WORRIED ABOUT
ADDING BEER TO YOUR FOOD,
WE REDUCE IT. SO THEREFORE ALL
THE ALCOHOL ON THIS PRODUCT
HERE , THIS IS FROM IRELAND.
THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED CHEF BROWN
SAUCE. IF THERE'S ANYBODY FROM
IRELAND, THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS. THIS IS
ONLY AVAILABLE IN SPECIAL SHOPS.
THERE'S ONE OVER IN ST. PAUL
IRISH ON GROUND WHERE YOU CAN
BUY IT. I'M NOT SURE WHERE ELSE
YOU CAN BUY IT. I DON'T NEED
TO WORRY BECAUSE I KNOW WHERE
TO GET IT. THIS HAS GOT A LITTLE
BIT OF TO USE A FRENCH TERM,
THE USA SECURE AND WHAT'S ALSO
IMPORTANT IS WHAT YOU ACCOMPANY
THE FOOD WITH . AND IN THIS
CASE, WE'VE GOT SOME WONDERFUL
IRISH SODA BREAD WHICH IS MADE
RIGHT HERE IN MINNESOTA OVER AT
BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA.
BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA. >> BUT YOU HAD MENTIONED TO ME
EARLIER THAT EVERYBODY KIND
OF HAS THEIR OWN RECIPE
FOR STEW. IT PASSED OUT.
>> IT'S DIFFERENT FROM FAMILY
FARM LIKE YOUR STEW DIFFERENT.
SO IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT WHAT
I HAVE LEARNED FROM MISTAKES
AND YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOING
TO GO ON KARE 11 UNTIL I'VE
ELIMINATED THE MISTAKES. THAT'S
THE THAT'S THE THAT'S THAT'S
THE JOY OF THIS WITH THE MEAT.
IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO SEAR
THE MEAT BEFORE YOU PUT IT
IN THE BOWL. WHEN YOU THINK
OF STEW AND YOU THINK A CROCK
POT, JUST THROW ALL
THE INGREDIENTS TO CLOSE THE LID
AND FORGET ABOUT IT. WHAT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT WITH IRISHTOWN
IN MY MIND AND OF COURSE
THE PURISTS WILL USE LEARM LEARM
ISN'T AS POPULAR IN THE U.S. SO
IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE. WE'RE
FOCUSING ON THE BEEF STEW, WHICH
WORKS REALLY WELL WITH
BEGINNERS.
BEGINNERS. >> WE SEAR IT. I HAVE THE MEAT
SITTING OUT HERE . I'VE SEASONED
IT WITH JUST SALT AND PEPPER. SO
IT'S SITTING HERE ,
IT'S ABSORBING THOSE. SO WHEN
I GO AND SEAR, I PUT IT IN THE
POT. THEN I ADD MY LITTLE SECRET
INGREDIENTS AND THEN I PUT ALL
THE OTHER INGREDIENTS ON TOP
AND THEN LET NATURE DO ITS
MAGIC.
MAGIC.
MAGIC. >>
MAGIC. >> DO YOU HAVE IT THERE? I USE
THE INSTAPOT SIMPLY BECAUSE
CONVENIENCE. I HAVE THREE KIDS.
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME.
THE PARDON ME THE CROCK POT IS
GREAT. PARDON ME ON A SUNDAY
WHEN YOU PREPARED IN THE
MORNING AND THEN TAKE OFF
FOR THE REST OF MAPLEVIEW IN THE
HOUSE. SMELLS WONDERFUL.
THE INSTAPOT IS LIKE A FAST
TRACK BUT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE
IN THE TASTE. AGAIN, I CHALLENGE
ANYONE WHO INSTAPOT OAKPORT.
I MEAN YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE A VERY
REFINED PILOT TO TELL
THE DIFFERENCE. SO HERE YOU HAVE
IT IN THE INSTAPOT AND WHAT'S
VERY IMPORTANT IS THAT THE VEGES
MAINTAIN THEIR CHARACTER. SO
THEY ARE THE CURRENTS ARE BRIGHT
ORANGE. THE POTATOES ARE THERE.
I HAVE ADDED MUSHROOMS.
MUSHROOMS ARE A SORT OF A TASTE
IF YOU LIKE MUSHROOMS, YOU
SHOULD CERTAINLY HAVE THEM .
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T
LIKE MUSHROOMS AND THEN I LIKE
TO ADD A SPRIG OF TIME BECAUSE
THERE'S ONE THING WE'RE ALWAYS
LOOKING FOR , DAVE, IS MORE
TIME. I AGREE. SO YOU MIGHT SAY
WE'RE HAVING DINNER AT SIX,
BUT DON'T COVID READY TILL ABOUT
SIX THIRTY THAT WAY THEY'RE
HUNGRIER AND THERE'S NO BETTER
SAUCE, ESPECIALLY FOR A LOT
OF IRISH FOOD THAN HUNGER. SO
THEY'VE BEEN WAITING THE NEXT
HALF HOUR THEY'RE WAITING. DON'T
BE GIVING TOO MANY APPETIZERS.
WE DON'T NEED THAT . WHEN
WE PRESENT THE STEWARTVILLE,
THEY'RE READY FOR IT.
>> JOHN , THIS IS FANTASTIC.
MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE CAN DO THIS
IN PERSON. I WOULD LOVE TO TRY
SOME OF YOUR STEW IN PERSON.
>> IF I'M LIVING IN SPARED,
I WOULD LOVE TO GO INTO
THE KARE 11 KITCHEN, BRING
A COUPLE OF BOTTLES OF
