Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon minced ginger (optional)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt or to taste
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot such as a Dutch oven. Add in the onions and cook the onions low and slow until they soften and begin to turn a soft share of toffee gold. This will take about 10-15 minutes and will need occasional stirring.
2. Add in the garlic and the ginger (if using) and cook for a couple of minutes. Stir in the salt, cayenne pepper, sugar, cumin, rosemary, and thyme and mix well.
3. Add in the potatoes, sweet potatoes and the carrots and add in the stout with 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the cover and check, the vegetables should be fair tender and the sauce should be an even deep brown.
4. Add in the mushrooms and cranberries and cook the stew on medium heat for 10 minutes to let the sauce thicken.
5. Cool slightly and serve garnished with chives.
