"This is comfort food. Serve with Irish soda bread and a mix of carrots and peas. This stew can also be cooked in a crockpot, layer the same and cook on low for 8 hours."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Trim the meat, leaving a little of the fat and slice.

Step 2

Season the meat and veggies with salt, pepper, 2 teaspoons of parsley and the thyme.

Step 3

Layer the potatoes, meat and onions in a large casserole, starting and finishing with a layer of potatoes.

Step 4

Add the water and cover tightly.

Step 5

Cook in a preheated oven at 275 degrees for 2 1/2 hours, shake occasionally to prevent sticking, and check liquid now and then; do not add unless absolutly necessary.

Step 6

The potatoes will thicken the finished stew so it should not be too runny.

Step 7

Just before serving, remove lid and brown the top under a hot broiler and sprinkle with remaining parsley.

Step 8

The potatoes on top should be nice and brown and crisp.

Derf knows that I took liberties with her recipe and said "fine try it". The results were wonderful. I used a Crock Pot, lamb shanks and added peas & carrots. I followed the recipe stacking and layering the ingredients, seasoning each layer. Cooked on low 6 hours. I fork mashed the veggies together on my plate with the gravy and I wish I could have this every Sunday. Thanks Derf for a fine Paddy day dinner
