Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Traditional Irish Lamb Stew.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all your ingredients for a seamless cooking experience.
Step 2
In a spacious stockpot or Dutch oven, warm the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Introduce the lamb pieces, gently stirring until they achieve a beautiful, even browning.
Step 4
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavor.
Step 5
Next, add the sliced onion, carrots, and if you choose, parsnip to the pot.
Step 6
Sauté the vegetables for a few minutes until they begin to soften and release their aromas.
Step 7
Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients, then cover the pot and bring the mixture to a vigorous boil.
Step 8
Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer gently, allowing the lamb to become tender, which should take around 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the cut.
Step 9
When the lamb is fork-tender, stir in the quartered potatoes and continue to simmer for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 10
Afterward, fold in the chopped leeks and, if desired, a sprinkle of rosemary, simmering uncovered until the potatoes are tender yet hold their shape.
Step 11
Serve this hearty stew steaming hot in bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Step 12
