In this traditional warming stew from the Emerald Isle, lamb shoulder is rendered spoon-tender by a simmer and then a long, slow bake with plenty of filling potatoes and aromatic carrots and onions. For bright color and a bit of verdant sweetness, green peas are tossed in toward the end of the cooking. This recipe also appears in the SAVEUR New Classics Cookbook.
Ingredients
- 3 lb. boneless lamb stew meat (preferably from the neck and shoulder), cut into 1" pieces
- 2 lb. russet potatoes, peeled and cut crosswise into thirds
- 2 tbsp. roughly chopped parsley
- 7 carrots, halved crosswise
- 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
