What exactly is Mulligan stew??

Answer 1

John Mulligan's Mulligan Stew



8-10 servings 4½ hours 20 min prep
Change to: servings US Metric
4 lbs stewing beef, cut in 1 1/2 inch cubes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil or any vegetable oil (you may need more)
3 large carrots, scraped and cubed
1 cup cubed turnips (peeled)
1 small onion, peeled and sliced into thin rings
4 large potatoes, preferably baking potatoes (peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices)


Sprinkle the beef with the salt and pepper and dredge in 1/2 cup of the flour, coating pieces well.
Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large cooking pot.
Brown the meat on all sides-- do this in batches-- over medium-high heat; use more oil as needed.
Set meat aside once browned.
Pour 1/2 cup water into the pot and scrape bottom and sides with a wooden spoon to dislodge all the brown bits.
Return meat to pot.
Add enough water to cover meat by one inch and bring to a boil; boil for 5 minutes.
Reduce heat and simmer meat for two hours; skim away any foam as necessary.
After two hours, add carrots, turnips, onion slices and potatoes to stew.
Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes; add water if necessary to barely cover the stew.
In a bowl or measuring cup, combine the remaining 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and whisk to a smooth paste.
Whisk or stir into the stew; simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Add salt and/or pepper to taste, and serve.
Note: The recipe doesn't call for any herbs or spices, but I would add some fresh herbs along with the vegetables; I would suggest

ADDITIONAL:
Back in the golden age of television, (around 1975 or so) when it was possible to produce children's programing without thinking about merchandising rights or guest spots on the Rosie O'Donnell Show, your local 4-H club got together with the Department of Agriculture to create a six-part musical tribute to the importance of healthy eating, known to the two kids who bothered to watch it as Mulligan Stew.

The series followed the standard educational TV show setup of having a bunch of hyperactive pre-teens left unattended in a garishly painted basement with some sort of Mr. Magoo/Faulknerian man-child hybrid, hired to act as an intermediary between them and the clandestine government agency in charge of monitoring international nutrition-related crime. Despite not being old enough to get on most amusement park rides, the gang was nonetheless expected to travel around the globe exposing the plans of enemy agents, NASA saboteurs, and con artists, and get back in time to be in bed by 8:30pm.

Definition: Said to have originated in hobo camps during the early 1900s, mulligan stew is a sort of catch-all dish of whatever is available. It usually contains meat, potatoes and vegetables in just about any combination. The name indicates that its origins might come from Irish stew, but it's also often compared to Kentucky burgoo. The cook at a hobo camp responsible for putting this tasty concoction together was called a "mulligan-mixer."

Answer 3

I would stick with Wellness, personally. The lack of Taurine is definitely a concern. I'm also not terribly impressed with the ingredients. Cabbage and horseradish? Neither of those has any significant nutritional value for a cat (or for a human, really...) One of the things I really like about Wellness is the berry content. Cranberry is great for their urinary systems and blueberries are good for them too. I use the Wellness Healthy Indulgence pouches, which also have no rice in them (just a preference of mine). Honestly, I think the Mulligan Stew is cheaper because you're getting less nutrition. I wouldn't use it.
