SIMPLE IRISH STEW
Irish stew is easy to make and if made with mutton and cooked slowly will be both flavorsome and tender. Mutton, being an older meat, has more flavor than lamb but does need to be cooked for a couple of hours over a low heat with liquid. It should not be allowed to boil or the flavor will be spoiled. The following dish will be found to be hearty and nourishing and traditional enough. Traditionally this is eaten with fresh made Irish Soda Bread. This is especially satisfying on a cold winter evening, as the smells permiate the home and fill the stomach.

Steps:
- Cut the meat into good size chunks.
- Peel the vegetables and slice thickly.
- Chop the parsley.
- Choose a pot with a well-fitting lid and put in the ingredients in layers, starting and finishing with potatoes.
- Pour in the water and season to taste.
- Cover and put on a very low heat for about 2 1/2 hours until the meat is tender and the potatoes have thickened the liquid.
- The dish may also be made with lamb, in which case it requires only 1 1/2 hours cooking time.
- I prefer to make this in a crock pot and let cook all day or over night, it lets the flavors blend extra well.
- If using mutton let cook on low for 8 hours, with lamb only 5 hours will make an excellent stew.

Steps:
- Make the stock. Put the lamb bones in a large heavy-based saucepan with the carrot, onion, celery, herbs, peppercorns and 1 tsp salt. Pour in 3 litres/5 ¼ pints water. Bring to the boil and simmer uncovered for 2 hours.
- Strain the stock through a fine sieve to remove bones and vegetables, then return to the pan. Boil until reduced to about 1.3 litres/2 ¼ pints. (You can make the stock the day before - keep it in a covered container in the fridge, or freeze it for up to 3 months.)
- Make the stew. Cut the lamb into large chunks. Peel the potatoes (keeping both types separate) and cut into pieces of similar size to the meat. Put the two different types in separate bowls of water to keep them white. Peel the carrots and cut into slightly smaller pieces. Slice the onions into thick rings.
- Put the lamb in a large, clean saucepan. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil, skimming off all the impurities from the surface. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Add the floury potatoes, carrots and onions. Season generously and simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the waxy potatoes and thyme. Simmer until the lamb is tender (15-20 minutes). Take off the heat, cover (don't stir) and leave for 15 minutes. (You can make this up to 2 days ahead and keep in the fridge). Garnish and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your stew will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables and high-quality meat.
- Brown the meat before stewing: Browning the meat adds depth of flavor to the stew. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it doesn't crowd the pan and steam instead of browning.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your stew will be. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, parsnips, and turnips.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock is the liquid that the stew is cooked in, so it's important to use a good quality stock. You can use homemade stock or a store-bought stock.
- Season the stew well: Be sure to season the stew well with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a splash of red wine or Guinness for extra flavor.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the meat and vegetables will become. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have time.
- Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes: Irish stew is traditionally served with crusty bread or mashed potatoes. This helps to soak up the delicious gravy.
Conclusion:
Irish stew is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a comforting meal, give Irish stew a try. You won't be disappointed.
