Ingredients:
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 lbs. lamb, cubed
2 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper

Irish Stew
Lamb is a far more common everyday food than beef in Ireland, so it’s not surprising that it stars in the classic stew of Ireland. The recipe is simple and delicious, and you can cook it atop the stove or in a crock-pot.

1. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a Dutch oven atop the stove over medium heat. Brown the lamb cubes on all sides in the oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour.

2. Add the bay leaf, carrots, onions and potatoes, raise heat, and bring to a boil uncovered. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.

3. Mix the flour into the remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and add to the stew along with the peas. Increase heat to medium and stir until the peas are done and the stew is thickened.
