Traditional? Haven't a clue. Delicious? Yes. Please serve this with my posted Irish soda bread. Pick up some lamb bones, too while you're at the butchers and make your own lamb broth for this stew. From our local natural foods' store flyer-I added and subtracted a few ingredients. Mom insisted I add some fresh cabbage to this. Okay, Ma! Note that I've not tried this stew with the optional whiskey.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 3/4 lbs organic boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch pieces (I had the butcher cut up the lamb for me)
1/2 cup flour, approximately
1 lb thin-skinned baby potatoes, divided
6 ounces baby carrots
2 -3 small parsnips, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks
1 medium sweet onion, peeled and chopped
1 large garlic clove, finely minced
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 -3 cups fresh lamb broth (or 2-3 cups unsalted chicken or beef broth)
1/2 cup green peas (if using frozen, thaw first)
2 cups cabbage, coarsely chopped
1 sprig fresh thyme, stems removed, minced
4 sprigs fresh parsley, stems removed, minced
2 ounces whiskey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • In a large bowl gently toss the lamb chunks with the flour to coat.
  • In a large Dutch oven with a tight fitting lid, arrange first the lamb, followed by half potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onion and garlic in layers. Finish the top layer with the remaining potatoes. Season each layer with salt and pepper.
  • Add broth (and whiskey if using), cover pot. Cook 2 to 2 1/2 hours until meat is tender and sauce thickened. DO NOT allow stew to dry out, adding stock as necessary!
  • The last 15 minutes of cooking, add the green peas and cabbage. Watch carefully, being sure that cabbage doesn't cook too long and become slimy.
  • Just before serving, garnish top of stew with the thyme and parsley.
  • FYI: For a thicker sauce, in a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons of arrowroot or cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of stock or water. Whisk, breaking up any lumps and stir into the casserole, incorporating well.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality lamb: Opt for grass-fed, organic lamb for the best flavor and texture.
  • Brown the lamb in batches: This helps develop a rich, deep flavor and prevents the meat from becoming tough.
  • Use a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot: This will evenly distribute the heat and help the stew cook evenly.
  • Add vegetables in stages: This will ensure that they cook evenly and retain their texture and flavor.
  • Use a variety of root vegetables: Carrots, parsnips, turnips, and potatoes all work well in lamb stew.
  • Add herbs and spices: Rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and black peppercorns are classic additions to lamb stew.
  • Use a good quality Guinness: This will add a rich, malty flavor to the stew.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: This will allow the flavors to develop and the lamb to become tender.
