' TIS AN IRISH LAMB STEW



' Tis an Irish Lamb Stew image

Traditional? Haven't a clue. Delicious? Yes. Please serve this with my posted Irish soda bread. Pick up some lamb bones, too while you're at the butchers and make your own lamb broth for this stew. From our local natural foods' store flyer-I added and subtracted a few ingredients. Mom insisted I add some fresh cabbage to this. Okay, Ma! Note that I've not tried this stew with the optional whiskey.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 3/4 lbs organic boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch pieces (I had the butcher cut up the lamb for me)
1/2 cup flour, approximately
1 lb thin-skinned baby potatoes, divided
6 ounces baby carrots
2 -3 small parsnips, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks
1 medium sweet onion, peeled and chopped
1 large garlic clove, finely minced
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 -3 cups fresh lamb broth (or 2-3 cups unsalted chicken or beef broth)
1/2 cup green peas (if using frozen, thaw first)
2 cups cabbage, coarsely chopped
1 sprig fresh thyme, stems removed, minced
4 sprigs fresh parsley, stems removed, minced
2 ounces whiskey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • In a large bowl gently toss the lamb chunks with the flour to coat.
  • In a large Dutch oven with a tight fitting lid, arrange first the lamb, followed by half potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onion and garlic in layers. Finish the top layer with the remaining potatoes. Season each layer with salt and pepper.
  • Add broth (and whiskey if using), cover pot. Cook 2 to 2 1/2 hours until meat is tender and sauce thickened. DO NOT allow stew to dry out, adding stock as necessary!
  • The last 15 minutes of cooking, add the green peas and cabbage. Watch carefully, being sure that cabbage doesn't cook too long and become slimy.
  • Just before serving, garnish top of stew with the thyme and parsley.
  • FYI: For a thicker sauce, in a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons of arrowroot or cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of stock or water. Whisk, breaking up any lumps and stir into the casserole, incorporating well.

Categories     Stew

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 lbs lamb shoulder with a little fat, cubed
1/2 cup flour
3 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
6 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 large yellow onions, cut into large dice
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch fresh rosemary
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 bunch fresh parsley
2 quarts lamb (enough to cover) or 2 quarts beef stock (enough to cover)
12 ounces Guinness stout
1 cup pearl barley (optional)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • The barley is optional but it makes it even more traditional. Cook it in 3 cups of stock for 20 minutes then add it into the stew when you return the meat to the pot.
  • Cut off some of the parsley leaves and chop enough to make 2 tablespoons; reserve. Cut off some parsley stems, and tie them into a bundle with a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme; reserve.
  • Season the meat with salt and brown the meat in a little oil. Remove and reserve, and sprinkle with a little flour, shaking off excess. Add the onions, garlic, carrots and celery to the pan and sauté, tossing to coat with the fat. Add the Guinness and deglaze, scraping up any caramelized meat juices. Add the potatoes, return the meat to the pot (and the barley if you're using it). Add enough stock to barely cover, cook over medium heat until just boiling, then reduce heat to very low and simmer 2 - 3 hours, until the meat is tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Check seasonings, add salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat, stir in parsley and the cornstarch (mixed into 4 teaspoons water) and stir. Cook over low heat for a few more minutes to thicken. Serve with plenty of Irish brown or white soda bread, tea and more Guinness if you like.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality lamb meat. Look for meat that is a deep red color and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Don't be afraid to brown the lamb meat well before stewing it. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and make it more tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Season the stew to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
  • Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Irish lamb stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious Irish lamb stew that your family and friends will love.
