    Recipes FAQs

    Which meat cut is the best for this Irish stew?

    I prefer to use the lamp shoulder because it gets so tender in the stew. However, you can use any part you prefer, just make sure not to get a leg of lamb which is best for grilling.

    Can I make this Irish lamb stew in the oven?

    Yes, you can. Just follow the exact directions below and complete the cooking in the oven. It will take about 1-2 hours to fully cook.

    What should I serve with this Irish stew?

    Actually, this stew is a whole meal, but you can serve it with pasta, rice, or bread.

    How should I store this stew?

    In an airtight container; keep in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 1-2 months.

    Do I need to add flour or corn-starch to thicken the stew?

    No, you don't as long as you add potatoes in the stew because they help in thickening this stew.
