Tag: Irish Stew

While researching Irish Stew, I couldn’t find a recipe I liked, so I decided to wing it.

I also have yet to attempt to use my slow cooker, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to do so. Here’s hoping it turns out ok…

Ingredients:

• 3 medium-size onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder, or 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into chunks (can substitute in beef)
• 7 carrots, chopped
• 3 leeks, chopped
• 3 tablespoons pearl barley
• 5 cups beef stock
• 1 bottle of Guinness
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt & Pepper, to taste
• 1 bouquet of parsley, thyme, and bay leaves, plus more parsley for garnish
• 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
• 1 parsnip, peeled and chopped (leave this to prep last)
• 1 cup frozen peas

the ingredients took up my entire counter
