    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the lamb into chunks, season with salt and pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the lamb over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.

    2

    Add the minced onions and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

    3

    Layer the pot with the potatoes, carrots, and parsnips, cut into large pieces. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and add the bay leaves.

    4

    Pour in water or stock to cover the ingredients. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5-2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are soft.

    5

    Stir the stew occasionally during cooking, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, if needed.

    6

    Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve with fresh bread or Irish soda bread.
