Easy Irish Stew Luscious Lamb for Lonely Lads Looking for Lovely Lasses
This was originally posted last March, but since I dont have a new video to show today, I decided to rerun this great stew recipe in anticipation of St. Patricks Day. Enjoy!Hey guys, if your cooking dinner for that special someone on St. Patricks Day, Id go with this sexy stew over the more traditional corned beef and cabbage. I love both dishes, but boiled cabbage is more of a married couples thing.
Irish stew is a much more date-friendy recipe. You can sit and relax while this aromatic stew simmers, and wont have to worry about saying things like, "by the way, thats the cabbage."
Pay attention to the cut of lamb used in this video recipe. I used lamb shoulder chops, which are a fantastic value, when you consider flavor, useable meat, and price.
They will probably be the cheapest lamb at the store, have more flavor and richness than leg meat, and are cheaper than shanks and loins. It takes a while for the meat to braise and fall off the bone, but its a wait rewarded with tender, succulent chucks of lamb.
Id like to apologize to all the Irish dark beer fans that will undoubtedly be disappointed that I didnt add the obligatory bottle of Guinness. I kind of prefer my Irish stew without the stout, although I will admit it does add an interesting flavor component that many swear by. Also, since I dont drink dark beer, so I always feel bad breaking up a six-pack to just buy the one bottle. The cashier always gives me that, "whats this guys deal?" look. Yes, I have issues.
I received an email complaining that my corned beef video could have benefited from some Irish music, so I splurged and purchased a Chieftains medley called, O Murchu Hornpipe/Sliabh Geal gCua na Feile/The Wandering Minstrel. Whatever Irish folk music lacks in commercial viability, it totally makes up for in song title length. Enjoy!
