Brussels Sprouts in Beer (Belgium)

I used this recipe for week 26 of my food blog, “Travel by Stove.” I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Belgium is my 26th stop. I never use any recipe for my blog that I’m not reasonably sure is from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. Please beware: I didn’t like this recipe because I find Brussels sprouts bitter enough without the addition of dark beer. You need to be a fan of that bitter flavor to appreciate this dish. If you don’t think you are, please don’t make this.

Belgian-Style Seitan Stew With Dark Beer

This recipe was found in Robin Robertson’s Vegan Planet. My hubby is a brewer, so I naturally gravitated toward this recipe. I think this recipe would be equally as good with sliced portabello mushrooms. It’s all about the sauce, which is thick and delicious. The carmelized onions are what makes this so tasty, in my opinion. The note says to serve it over noodles and to wash it down with more of the beer that you use in the stew. I served it over mashed potatoes and a side of steamed broccoli and used (and drank) oatmeal stout. Yum.
