Thank you! I’m from Japan. I wanted to know the real recipe!! It’s similar to Japanese dish called nikujaga ( potatoes and meat ).

I hope your kids enjoy! Thanks for watching!

I brown the meat in a large fry pan, cook in batches and to preserve the very tasty leftover bits add part of the stock to the warm pan; this frees the bits perfectly for later transfer to the main pot.

[@watchitcookit4017]

Yeah, that'll work, color is flavor! Thanks for watching!

good to see you are using lamb. Many presenters claim to make "Irish Stew " , and use beef , In Ireland, when you use the term "Irish Stew " , you either use Lamb , or be able to run for the hills very rapidly. Stew made with any other meat is Beef stew, or chicken casserole , but using LAMB , now you can safely call it Irish Stew, Your dish looks and sounds yummy,

[@watchitcookit4017]

Thanks, it's very tasty!

Can I add celery?

[@watchitcookit4017]

Sure you can, give it a try and let me know.

[@richardfallon5507]

you can add anything you like . but remember , original "Irish Stew " had only carrots, potatoes and onions in it,

Stew looks nice but its not Irish stew

[@richardfallon5507]

Why do you say that ??.

[@muri134]

​@@richardfallon5507 Irish stew is made with mutton or lamb with potatoes, onions, pepper and salt, cold water and chopped parsley.

[@richardfallon5507]

@@muri134 I fully agree with you, (I'm a retired Irish chef ), I just wondered what you were pointing out,

[@tentigers7335]

I absolutely love lamb, but the fat has a bit of a strong flavour. So I would be trimming all the fat off before cooking. I think a lot more people would like lamb if they took off most of the fat first. Still, if you are cooking it over a fire or barbecuing then removing the fat is probably not needed.

[@watchitcookit4017]

Good idea, you can also skim the fat off with a spoon at the end. It all rises to the top. Another trick I heard, but haven't tried, is soaking the lamb in milk for a while before cooking. Thanks for the comment.

There is NO garlic or turnip in Irish stew, there is parsnip & Swede 🇮🇪
