Traditional Irish Lamb Stew
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 1 parsnip, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 4 cups water, or as needed
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped leeks
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components for the dish.
2
Heat a substantial amount of oil in a large cooking vessel or heavy pot over a moderate temperature. Introduce lamb pieces into the pot and cook, stirring softly, until they are uniformly browned on all sides. Add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper to enhance the flavor.
3
Add sliced onions, chopped carrots, and diced parsnips into the pot and cook gently for a short while. Introduce water into the mixture, then cover the vessel and bring the contents to a rolling boil; gradually decrease the heat to a low setting and let it simmer until the lamb is tender, taking anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the type of meat used.
4
Add diced potatoes into the pot and continue to simmer for 15-20 minutes, prior to adding sliced leeks and sprigs of rosemary. Allow the ingredients to continue simmering uncovered, until the potatoes are tender but still retain their shape.
5
Present the dish steaming hot in individual bowls, garnished with fresh parsley leaves.
