Wholesome Irish Stew - Recipe by Faz Razeen<br />

Irish stew is a celebrated Irish dish, yet<br />

its composition is a matter of dispute.<br />

Purists maintain that the only acceptable<br />

and traditional ingredients are neck,<br />

mutton chops or alternatively beef, with<br />

potatoes, carrots, onions, and water. Irish<br />

stew is also made with young goat.<br />

Served up piping hot in a bowl, Irish stew<br />

makes a delicious lunch or dinner on a<br />

winters day, especially with a nice glass<br />

of red wine.<br />

Ingredients :<br />

600g Casserole steak, lamb or beef<br />

4-5 Large carrots<br />

3 Large onions.<br />

4 Large potatoes<br />

3 Cloves garlic, crushed<br />

2/3 Bay leaves<br />

1 Leek<br />

½ teaspoon fresh thyme<br />

Salt and pepper<br />

600ml Beef, lamb or chicken stock<br />

Method:<br />

Dice the meat into large pieces, season<br />

with salt and pepper, and rub with<br />

crushed garlic. Peel and cut carrots &<br />

potatoes into large chunks. Thickly slice<br />

the onions. Prepare your stock.<br />

Fry the meat for 6 mins on medium heat,<br />

until brown then transfer to a casserole<br />

dish. Add your stock, carrots, onions, and<br />

2 or 3 bay leaves. Place the potatoes on<br />

top of the stew, cover with lid or foil, then<br />

place in middle of an oven set at 160˚c<br />

(140˚c fan) or Gas Mk 3. Cook for 2hrs 10<br />

minutes, then add your sliced leek. Return to<br />

the oven for a further 20 minutes to cook<br />

the leeks.<br />
