The Great Sunday Lunch
Irish Stew
One of the heartiest and most welcome Sunday Lunches as autumn takes over and winter approaches. Just delicious with my dumplings.
Parsley
Parsley stalks add great depth to stocks and stews (try tying together with bay and celery to make a simple bouquet garni).
Tips
Cooking Times - roughly 2 hours
A slow-cooked dish delivering outstanding flavour.
Why Not Try
For 4 people try the following recipe:
3lb lamb chops, 4 med onions, 4 med carrots, 1 pint of stock (or water), 6 potatoes, a handful of parsley (chopped), salt and pepper.
Brown the meat really well. Quarter the onions and carrots, add to the pan and brown slightly. Cover with stock then place a lid on the pan, simmering gently for 1 hour. An hour in to cooking, add the potatoes. Skim off any excess fat that may have risen to the top during cooking. Add parsley before serving.
Why not try my mashed potato and some cabbage for a filling and hearty meal!
