Chef's tip

Garnish with parsley and serve with boiled carrots

Variations

This time I used some wonderful dried girole mushrooms that I bought in France. A little of the water used to rehydrate the mushrooms made good stock too. Add dried mushrooms with the meat, even if they have been presoaked.

Use a medium onion, peeled and sliced if you don't have baby onions.

Omit the mustard, replace the Guinness with dry cider, the beef stock with chicken stock and make this dish with meaty lamb chops

Serving suggestions

Blanche the onions in boiling water for 5 minutes to ease the peeling of the white onions
