Irish stew
Irish stew
Irish stew is a traditional dish from Ireland. It's a hearty and comforting stew typically made with lamb or mutton, potatoes, onions, carrots, and sometimes other vegetables like celery or parsnips. The ingredients are simmered together in a flavorful broth until everything is tender and the flavors meld together.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds lamb or mutton cut into chunks
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and diced
- 2 medium onions finely chopped
- 2 carrots peeled and sliced into rounds
- 2 stalks celery sliced
- 4 cups beef broth or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the lamb or mutton chunks and brown them on all sides. Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the onions and garlic. Sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring well to coat. This will help thicken the stew later on.
- Add the tomato paste and stir it into the mixture until well combined.
- Return the lamb or mutton to the pot, along with any juices that accumulated. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, and thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour in the beef or vegetable broth, making sure all the ingredients are submerged. If needed, add additional water to cover the ingredients.
- Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded together. Remember to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or thyme to taste.
- Once the stew is done, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to settle.
- Serve the Irish stew hot, preferably with some crusty bread on the side. Enjoy!
