Irish Stew
This lamb stew is flavored with thyme and garlic, and includes peas, mushrooms, and potatoes. It's a delicious version of a hearty lamb stew.

Ingredients:

  • 3 to 4 lbs leg of lamb, cut into 1 1/2" cube
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, mashed & minced
  • 4 medium potatoes, quartered
  • 8 small white onions, peeled
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup flour

Preparation:

Over medium heat, brown lamb in butter and oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven. Add water, broth, and seasonings; cover and simmer for 1 hour. Remove surface fat. Add potatoes and onion; simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add peas and simmer for 5 minutes. Combine milk and flour; stir until smooth. Add to simmering stew and simmer for about 1 minute, or until thickened. Taste and adjust seasonings.
