How To Make Irish Lamb Stew Recipe?

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients.
2. Cook Bacon: Cook the diced bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned (about 10 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and leave the bacon fat in the skillet.
3. Brown the Lamb: Toss the lamb with flour, salt, and pepper. Brown the lamb in the bacon fat over medium-high heat. Transfer to a stockpot.
4. Cook Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, cook chopped onion and garlic over medium heat until soft. Add water to deglaze the pan, then add the mixture to the stockpot with the lamb.
5. Simmer Stew: Add bacon, beef stock, and sugar to the stockpot. Cover and simmer for 1 ½ hours.
6. Add Vegetables: Add carrots, potatoes, onions, wine, thyme, and bay leaves to the stockpot. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Recipe Tips:

• Use a thick pot: A thick pot will cook the stew evenly and stop it from burning.
• Brown the meat properly: Brown the lamb and bacon well to get a better flavor in the stew. Don’t rush!
• Let it simmer: Simmer the stew for the full time to make the meat tender and bring out all the flavors.
• Add wine for extra flavor: The white wine makes the stew richer. Make sure to include it!
• Let it rest: Let the stew sit for 10 minutes before serving to help the flavors mix.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover stew cool to room temperature, then put it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: After cooling, store the stew in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat the stew in a pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes until hot.
