Irish Lamb Stew Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sear the Lamb

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed lamb and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove lamb and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Return the lamb to the pot. Add the carrots, potatoes, thyme, broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

5. 5

   Prepare Breadbowls

   While the stew is simmering, prepare the soda bread. You can either bake it from scratch or use store-bought bread. Hollow out the center to create bowls.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the stew is ready, ladle it into the hollowed bread bowls and serve warm with honey butter on the side.
