Irish Stew in Slow Cooker Submitted by: Alice
1 1/2 lbs of chopped lamb or beef (cubed) 1/4 cup of Gluten-Free (GF) flour (Recipe: 2 parts white rice flour, 2/3 part potato starch, 1/3 part tapioca flour) 3 cups of carrots peeled and sliced 1 celery stalk 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper (more if you like it spicy)	2 teaspoons of sea salt 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon basil 1 tablespoon parsley 1 medium onion, chopped 1 medium diced parsnip (about 1 cup)
Put meat on the bottom of a 2 quart crock pot. Add enough warm water to cover the meat completely (between 2-3 cups). Then add the GF flour mix. Stir until the mix is completely dissolved and there are no lumps. Add the seasoning and vegetables. Mix well. Set on high and cook a minimum of 6 hours. If your stew appears a bit runny prior to serving, just drain out 1 1/2 to 2 cups of broth and let it cool. Mix it with 3-4 tablespoons of additional flour mix and bring it to a slow boil in a saucepan until it thickens. Add to stew and serve. Makes 6-8 adult-sized portions. Note: This Irish Stew will go great with mashed potatoes, and your kids will love it and it is gluten-free, corn-free, Feingold approved, and casein-free.
