Simple Irish Stew

Simple Irish Stew


1. Cut the meat into good size chunks.

2. Peel the vegetables and slice thickly.

3. Chop the parsley.

4. Choose a pot with a well-fitting lid and put in the ingredients in layers, starting and finishing with potatoes.

5. Pour in the water and season to taste.

6. Cover and put on a very low heat for about 2 1/2 hours until the meat is tender and the potatoes have thickened the liquid.

7. The dish may also be made with lamb, in which case it requires only 1 1/2 hours cooking time.

8. I prefer to make this in a crock pot and let cook all day or over night, it lets the flavors blend extra well.

9. If using mutton let cook on low for 8 hours, with lamb only 5 hours will make an excellent stew.
