Traditional Irish Stew

Recipe Ingredients

4		Potatoes - thinly sliced
4		Onions - thinly sliced (medium)
6		Carrots - sliced
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Irish bacon - chopped
3 lbs	1362g / 48oz	Shoulder lamb chops 1" thick - (to 3 1/2
		Lbs) - trimmed, and
		Cut into small pieces
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
2 1/2 cups	592ml	Water
4		Potatoes - halved
		Finely-chopped fresh parsley

Recipe Instructions

In a medium-size pot, put down a layer of the thinly sliced potatoes, onions and carrots. Top with a layer of bacon and lamb. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Continue building in this manner until all the ingredients are used. Add the water until it barely covers the ingredients.

Arrange the halved potatoes on top of the stew, but not in contact with the water, so they can steam as the rest is cooking. Simmer over a very low heat for about 2 hours, or in a moderate oven for the same length of time.

Serve in shallow soup bowls and sprinkle liberally with the chopped parsley.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
