The heart of Ireland in a bowl: my take on Irish stew

 Irish stew tonight:

Not many dishes are as comforting and satisfying as a homemade irish stew with buttered soda bread and a pint of Guinness.

My recipe:

I used leg of lamb, chopped up the meat, floured it and browned it in butter in a pan.

Whilst doing this the vegetables were already heating up in a large saucepan ( turnips, carrots, peas, onion ) with some butter. Then add veal stock and Guinness to just cover the veg. Add mustard, Worcestershire and a spoon of marmite. Season with black pepper, salt, thyme and a couple of laurel leaves.

Chuck in the meat with fatty bits, bones and all ( extra taste and texture ).

Simmer for as long as you like.

When your bowl is empty help yourself to another.

Enjoy 😋🇮🇪
