Ireland | Food



Irish stew is a traditional irish stew made from lamb, beef or mutton, (mutton is used as it comes from less tender sheep over a year old and is fattier and more flavourful) as well as potatoes, carrots, onions and parsley. The essence of Irish stew is summed up in the recipe's entry in The Joy of Cooking: "This famous stew is not browned."






Recipe :

Ingredients
4 cups of water.
1 lb of diced/chopped mutton.

4 med size carrots.
2 med size onions.
A tablespoon of parsley.

5 med size potatoes.
2 stock cubes, or 1 pint of homemade/prepared stock.
Black pepper.

Method

Boil the mutton alone for about 1 hour.

Strain off most of the fat.

Chop the vegetables to spoon size.

Put all ingredients in a big pot including the stock, and bring to boil and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
