GINGERSNAP STEW



Gingersnap Stew image

This is amazing! I love the flavors together. You have the sweetness of the celery & carrots, the smoky sausage (I use turkey sausage) and subtle heat from the chili powder... the gingersnap flavor is subtle & wonderful as well. My mom says this is very much like a German dish (Sauerbraten) she had growing up but with a twist. Serve with a crusty slice of rye bread and ENJOY! Man I love this! Recipe source: Inspired by: Better Homes and Gardens recipe winner. I have increased most ingredients.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 carrots, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3 medium celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup onion, chopped*I use more
2 teaspoons cooking oil, cooking spray
8 -12 ounces smoked sausage, cooked, cut into 1-inch pieces, smoked turkey sausage works
1 1/2 cups water
15 ounces kidney beans, rinsed & drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
14 ounces tomatoes with juice, plain
6 gingersnap cookies, crushed, about 1/3 cup

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan cook carrots, celery and onion in oil over medium heat, about 5 minutes or until onion is nearly tender. Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  • Add sausage to pan, cook over medium heat until lightly browned. Return vegetables to pan.
  • Add water, beans, chili powder and worchestershire sauce. Bring to boiling and reduce heat. Simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in undrained tomatoes. Add crushed gingersnaps. Cook and stir about 5 minutes or until mixture thickens and bubbles. Ladle into bowls.
  • Notes:
  • I add more onions, carrots, low fat smoked sausage, kidney beans than the original recipe calls for. these can be reduced in amount if you desire.
  • I prefer using the dark red kidney beans because they really are *pretty* and colorful in this dish.
  • I have also used whole baby carrots cuz I'm lazy.
  • The chili powder adds a subtle touch of *heat*.
  • I tend to simmer on low for up to 2 hours.

GINGERSNAP POT ROAST



Gingersnap Pot Roast image

A pot roast in the winter is such a comforting dinner and this gingersnap pot roast is delicious. Browning the sides lock in the juices and it picks up the onion, vinegar and ketchup flavors it cooks in. The gravy is fantastic. Adding gingersnap cookies creates a gravy that's savory, spicy, and lightly sweet. Serve with mashed...

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lb piece of pot roast, I use whatever is on sale
2 c all-purpose flour, enough to roll meat in
salt and pepper, to taste
3 Tbsp oil, enough in bottom of large pot to brown meat in
2 medium onions, chopped and held on side
1 c ketchup
2 Tbsp brown sugar
3/4 c white vinegar
1 bag(s) gingersnap cookies

Steps:

  • 1. Roll meat in flour.
  • 2. Brown on all sides in a pot (not Teflon coated pot).
  • 3. When halfway done add onions and continue to brown. ***Please use care while doing this step as I have watched my mom turning the meat over and it fell off the fork and splashed the oil on her face***
  • 4. Once all browned, cover with "BOILING" water, (if you add cold water it will make the meat tough).
  • 5. Add 3/4 cup white vinegar, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, and 1 cup ketchup.
  • 6. Let meat simmer for 2-3 hours.
  • 7. Remove meat, strain onions out of water and throw out. ***I skim the onions out so as we don't have to dirty another pot to collect the juice use your own judgement***
  • 8. Put liquid back into pot.
  • 9. Add half the box of the gingersnap cookies. More can be added until you get the proper consistency. Remember, more water means more gingersnaps to make it thicker. I usually throw in at least one package depending on how much water there is. They can be crushed or whole as they will dissolve after a few minutes. If it's too thick, add 1/4 cup of water at a time until you have your desired consistency of gravy.
  • 10. Once gravy thickens up, put the meat back in the sauce and let it sit for another 30 minutes.
  • 11. Side dish with this we have mashed potatoes and green beans. I love the gravy.
