Here’s a photo of my rendition of Guy’s Double-Jack Stew with Boxty Cakes.
This dish is a great go-to when you want a hearty warm-you-to-the-bone kinda meal. I’ve made this several times now and you can’t really mess it up. This dish is regularly requested in my house but I must give credit where credit is due. Guy Fieri has got a good one here with this Double-Jack Stew. Ladies, if you want to impress a guy who is a hearty eater, meat’n potatoes kinda guy… this is THE dish. It takes some time, just like with any stew but man, is it worth it!
For me, the Boxty Cake that goes under it is what makes this dish. They are so delicious I could eat a stack of just those! If you’re like me and you’re asking what on earth is a Boxty Cake? Well, it’s a lip-smacking, mouth-watering potato and cauliflower cake that is crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside and let’s just say a cloud of heaven for your stew to rest upon. It’s the perfect accompaniment to this spicy rich stew.
Note: If you don’t care for the flavor of stout and/or Jack Daniels, you can substitute other flavors in the marinade and it works just fine, such as a lighter beer or even a rum. You can also substitute with stock, Apple Cider or even Ginger Ale. I have backed down some of the liquor to create a milder flavor when I was having “non-drinker” guests over and the stew was still fantastic. Lots of flexibility in the marinade. Again, the Boxty Cakes… OhhhMG!
