2. Meanwhile, arrange a single layer of onion and carrot pieces on bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Place browned meat on top. Add remaining onions and carrots along with parsnips and turnips. Tie together rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, and parsley stems and add them to the pot along with Worcestershire and mustard.

3. Pour stout over all and add enough water to almost cover contents.

4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours (until meat is falling of the bone).

5. To serve, carefully remove meat and vegetables from slow cooker. Strain the juices. Serve the ribs with strained juices; garnish with chopped parsley leaves.
