Typical Irish meal: Irish Stew
One of the best-known Irish dishes originally made with mutton or kid, potatoes and onions. The taste is altered if you add carrots, turnips or pearl barley or if you put too much liquid. A good Irish stew should be thick and creamy.
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds of chops, mutton breast without fat or bone,
- 1kg of potatoes,
- 1 pound of onions
- 1 tablespoon of parsley mixture and chopped thyme,
- ¾ of a pint of water (about 2 cups),
- salt and pepper.
Recipe:
- Cut the meat into small pieces. Remove fat and bone.
- Peel and slice potatoes and onions.
- Put a layer of potatoes in a saucepan, then the herbs, then the pieces of meat and then the onions.
- Season each layer well and repeat this again to finish with a layer of potato.
- Pour the liquid.
- Close and put in the oven at 250 degrees or put to simmer on the fire for about 2 hours,
mix from time to time to avoid adhesion.
- Add a little liquid if it becomes too dry.
Other method:
Another method is to place the pieces of meat on the inside perimeter of a fact-everything and put sliced onions and potatoes in the middle.
Add the water, put the lid on and cook gently for 2 hours for the meat to be tender.
If the meat is placed so, you will not have any problems with the service.
