Irish
Stew is one of the most known of Irish country
dishes. Generally made with the cheapest and most available
ingredients (lamb meat, onions & potato) carrots are
thought not to have been part of the original ingredients
but they add add flavor, so they are included here. You
can also throw in some peas if you like. This simple,
yet delicious, traditional recipe for Irish Stew is a
perfect main course for a small dinner with family or
friends. It's also a low maintenance choice to use as
a buffet dish you can prepare & assemble
earlier in the day to reheat and serve at an evening
St. Patrick's Day party. Use corn starch or arrowroot
powder to thicken the gravy, if desired.
