This my second time to use this recipe. I hope this is as good as the first. Give this a
go you will be very happy with the result.

I am a beginner cook and found the recipe very clear and easy to follow. There are just
a couple of discrepancies: when you say to fry the
> vegetables does this include the potatoes (I'm assuming not) and when was the thyme
supposed to be added? Tasted very nice nonetheless!
Thanks for your comments, the recipe has been updated to take them
into account.

I think this is a brill web page, done fab dumplings for my son who loves them. Will try
casserole, with this snow down to keep us warm. Thank you Dawn.

Being Irish I am ashamed to say i have never tempted to cook Irish stew before! I stuck
to your recipe, and voila, the stew was gorgeous really tasty. But left in the oven for
an 1hr and half. I will be using this recipe again. Thanks.

This is really easy to do! It was a big hit with the kids too. I used neck fillet for
my stew and had it with some thickly buttered crusty bread. Very tasty.

i love Irish stew but I never fry anything I layer everything the potato thickens the
gravy.

I saw a recipe that added Guinness, Red Wine, Olive Oil, Garlic with everything above.
Is that one a authentic Irish/Gaelic Stew?
ANSWER: No. Irish Stew in its original form was a meal eaten by
poor people who used only basic ingredients. Wine they definitely could not have
afforded as a cooking ingredient and Guinness would also have been beyond their means.
Outside of southern Europe, olive oil was a rarity 50 years ago and certainly was never
part of the authentic Irish Stew. Hope that helps.

This is absolutely lovely! My second attempt is in the oven after loving it the first
time. I make it with veg stock as I don't like lamb stock and use a bit of swede as well
and it's really, really lovely. Just wish I had some warm crusty bread to go with it!

Easy to cook, truly delicious. Wouldn't use the roux as
traditionally only the potato is used as a thickening agent for Irish Stew.

Wow...this is my first time to make lamb stew. I hope my employers likes it. Can't wait
to hear their comment.

If u cut the potatoes up into tiny chunks if will thicken the stew for you and we never
fry the fat we just add the whole lot.

Please - it's not a real Irish stew without the fluffy parsley dumplings. Agree 100%
Mick (17 March 2010) NO ROUX.

I have made this Irish stew loads of times now and it's always
delicious. I tend to use the real 'value' frozen lamb chops from
supermarkets and they work really well. Do be careful though when
you're pouring the liquid out of your casserole dish cause I've
burnt myself a couple of times doing that.

No Fluffy Dumplings and no Roux. For a change add a small bottle of
Guinness.
