Immigrant Irish Stew Recipes

TRADITIONAL IRISH STEW

Steps:

• Add the cabbage (if using), replace the lid, and cook for another hour. Check from time to time to make sure the stock hasn't reduced too much. If it has, add a little boiling water. The meat and vegetables should always be covered in liquid. If the sauce is too runny at the end, you can always cook the stew a little longer with the lid removed.

IMMIGRANT IRISH STEW

Steps:

• Layer half of the potato slices on the bottom of a large, heavy pot.
• Cover with half of the onion slices, then top with all of the carrots and parsnip.
• Layer the lamb pieces evenly over the vegetables and sprinkle with thyme, Worcestershire, salt and black pepper.
• Layer with the remaining potato and onion slices.
• Pour broth over all ingredients and bring to a light boil over medium-high heat.
• Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours, or until lamb is very tender.

VEGAN IRISH STEW

Steps:

• Place everything in crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours. After 6 hours, add peas and cook for 2 more hours. If stew thickens too much, add some additional water.

CROCK POT IRISH STEW

Steps:

• If you buy Lamb Shoulder with bone, go ahead and cut the meat off the bone and remove as much fat as you can, not all but enough to make it lean. Salt and pepper the Lamb to taste and coat with flour and add to the crockpot.
• Chop the onion into large chunks ( I cut the onion in half then chop each half into thirds and then in half). Then Chop your carrots and Celery and add to the crock pot.
• In a large bowl mix the bottle of beer and the can of Chicken stock together with the Rosemary, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and Vinegar (if choosing to add that). pour over the contents of the crock pot.
• Dice the Potatoes into bite size pieces and add to the crock pot and cover cooking on low for 7 hours.
• After 7 hours on low mix cornstarch with some liquid from crock pot until there are no chunks or cornstarch left, then mix into crock pot and let cook for an additional 1 hour on low.
• Serve and enjoy. Go ahead and season with salt & pepper to taste, or if you want an additional flavor added to ahead and use seasoned salt.
• (Now in the picture I didn't add the flour or cornstarch because I wanted it as a soup, but If you want a nice stew go ahead and add them. If you feel like it's going to be a little too thin still you can add less Chicken stock, but I feel like it tastes great as a soup).
