Serves: 2, Difficulty: Expert
Preparation Time: 30 minutes, Cooking Time: 2 hours
Ingredients
- 300 grams of lamb, diced
- 300 grams of potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 200 grams of cabbage, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 200 ml of milk
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of pepper
- 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon of thyme
- 1 teaspoon of rosemary
- 200 ml of water
Method
- Begin by melting the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the diced lamb and brown it on all sides.
- Once the lamb is browned, add the chopped carrots and cabbage. Stir to combine the ingredients.
- Pour in the water and milk, and add the potatoes. Stir in the salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let the dish simmer gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure the ingredients are cooking evenly and the flavors are developing.
- As the dish nears readiness, the potatoes and lamb should become tender, and the flavors should meld into a rich and aromatic stew.
- Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving to add a touch of freshness and vibrant color.
Tips
- For a deeper flavor, you can brown the lamb with a bit of butter for a richer stew.
- Ensure the lamb is tender to make the dish more enjoyable and comforting.
- Serve with a slice of crusty Irish soda bread to soak up the delightful stew.
