Irish Stew Or Stobhach Gaelach Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Lor / All my dishes 2 years ago When this stew is made the traditional "Irish" way, the results are a thick, stick-to-your-ribs "stew." My grandmother and greatgrandmother's family were a part of the "Irish Potato Famine" beginning in the 1840's. The potato famine was a tremendous blow to the Irish people....

Ingredients

2-1/2 pounds boned mutton

5-6 large potatoes (I like to use Russet potatoes or a good earthy potato)

2-3 large onions

4 medium carrots

a handful of fresh parsley, chopped. I use my own measurement.

2 cups cold water

Note: a bottle of Guinness can also be added - it's up to you.

1 Bay leaf

salt and pepper

NOTE: Potatoes have a tendency to cook quicker than the other ingredients. Therefore, the potatoes are often boiled separately and added to the stewpot just before serving. I prefer to add the potatoes half way into the cooking process.

Directions

Cut the meat and the peeled vegetables into large sized chunks and chop the parsley.

Choose a heavy pot/dutch oven with a lid and put the ingredients in.

Add cold water and seasonings to taste.

Cover and put on a low heat setting for at least 3-1/2 to 4 hours until the meat is tender and the potatoes have thickened the liquid.

Lamb can be substituted for mutton and in which case it requires less cooking time.
