' TIS AN IRISH LAMB STEW
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.

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.

CHEF JOHN'S IRISH STEW
Pay attention to the cut of lamb used in this recipe. I used lamb shoulder chops, which are a fantastic value, when you consider flavor, useable meat, and price. They will probably be the cheapest lamb at the store, have more flavor and richness than leg meat, and are cheaper than shanks and loins. It takes a while for the meat to braise and fall off the bone, but it's a wait rewarded with tender, succulent chucks of lamb.

Steps:
- Season lamb shoulder chops with salt and black pepper.
- Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. Working in batches, cook lamb shoulder chops until browned on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a stock pot.
- Cook and stir onion with a pinch of salt in the same skillet over medium heat until slightly softened and edges are browning, about 5 minutes. Stir butter into onion until melted; add flour and stir until onions are coated, about 1 minute.
- Pour stock into onion mixture; bring to a boil, add rosemary, and stir until mixture thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Stir carrots and celery into pot with lamb shoulder chops and pour chicken stock mixture over the top. Add water as needed to cover meat completely. Bring mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and cook until meat is almost falling off the bone, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Transfer meat to a plate. Stir potatoes into stew and return meat to stew, placing on top of vegetables. Simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender and meat is falling off the bone, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer meat to a plate using a slotted spoon. Bring stew to a boil and cook, skimming off fat, until stew is reduced and thick, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove meat from bones; discard bones and any pieces of fat. Stir meat back into stew. Stir green onions into stew and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:
- Use high-quality lamb: The better the lamb, the better the stew. Look for lamb that is well-marbled and has a good fat content.
- Brown the lamb before stewing: This will add flavor and help to keep the meat moist. Be sure to brown the lamb in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and steam instead of brown.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the stew. Some good choices include carrots, potatoes, parsnips, turnips, and celery.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of the stew, so it's important to use a good one. You can use a store-bought stock or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to use a variety of bones and vegetables.
- Season the stew well: Be sure to season the stew with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. Some good choices include rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic.
- Cook the stew low and slow: This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or mashed potatoes: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Irish lamb stew is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious Irish lamb stew that your family and friends will love.
