Irish Stew

The perfect dinner for a chilly Sunday! We slow cooked this hearty Irish stew made with lamb, and served it with Stoemp (Belgian mashed veg), the recipe for that is soon to come! ☘️

This recipe serves 2-3, and takes around 1hr 30mins from start to serve. Enjoy! 😋

Ingredients

  • Approx. 400g diced lamb 🥩
  • 4 rashers smoked bacon, diced 🥓
  • 1 box of chestnut mushrooms 🍄
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 small carrot chopped into large chunks🥕
  • Fresh thyme and parsley
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1tbsp Tomato puree 🍅
  • 500ml beef stock
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup red wine 🍷

Method

  1. Start by tossing the lamb in some seasoned flour and then cook until browned on the outside. Set aside
  2. Fry the onions and garlic, once browned add the bacon and mushrooms and the wine. Cook off for around 5mins on a medium-high heat
  3. Add the bayleaves, thyme, tomato puree, cook for 1min
  4. Add the stock and carrots and return the lamb to the pan
  5. Cook on a low heat for 1hr, do not allow the mix to boil or the lamb will go tough
  6. After the hour of cooking, check the consistency and add some cornflour slurry to thicken the sauce if needed
  7. Finish by mixing through the fresh parsley and serve with some mash potato or stoemp (recipe coming soon!)
