Irish stew
Lamb pot dish
Irish stew is a hearty dish of lamb or mutton slowly braised with potatoes, onions, and other root vegetables.
The dish originated in Ireland, where sheep and potatoes were dietary staples.
Recipes vary—some include carrots or barley, purists insist on only meat, potatoes, and onions—but the result is always a thick, warming stew: We had Irish stew and brown bread for supper.
