Irish Stew
Warm up with a hearty and traditional Irish Stew, packed with tender lamb, root vegetables, and rich, comforting flavors
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lamb shoulder cut into chunks
- kosher salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion chopped, large
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 carrot peeled and sliced, medium
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 potato peeled and cut into chunks, large
- 6 cups lamb broth or beef broth
- 2 thyme sprigs, fresh
- parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the lamb chunks with salt and pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add lamb and brown on all sides, then set aside.
- In the same pot, add onions and garlic, cooking until soft. Then add carrots and cook for a few more minutes.
- Sprinkle in flour, mix, and let cook for one minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add potatoes, broth, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for about 2 hours or until the meat is tender and the stew has thickened. If stew becomes too thick, add a small amount of broth to thin it.
- Remove thyme sprigs. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
