Homestead Photography Contest: Food and Recipes
How could I not participate in a contest like this!
I made a delicious Irish Stew with Lamb two nights ago and would love to share my recipe.
Irish Stew
Ingredients:
- Three lamb chops
- One tbsp bacon fat/butter/oil
- One onion
- Three potatoes
- Three carrots
- One cup of peas
- Three cups stock or broth
- Three cups water
- One tsp flour
- One tsp parsley, one half tsp each salt, pepper, thyme, celery seed, and curry powder.
Method:
- In a large pot over medium heat brown the lamb chops on both sides in your chosen fat.
- Chop onions and veggies while lamb is browning.
- Remove lamb from pot and set on a plate to cool a bit.
- Add onion to pot and brown
- Add spices and flour to to the pot and cook about a minute
- Add all other veggies to pot along with liquids, bring to a boil on high then turn to medium low and simmer
- Cut the meat from the chops and add it to the simmering stew. I added the bones back to the pot as well for more flavor.
- Simmer about 30 minutes and serve!
Now for the photo version...

Oh my that look like my kind of stew. Delicious!!!
oh, this looks so rich and hearty! i adore seeing how other people cook and eat, and learning more about spice mixtures and ingredient ratios. i would have done one carrot and more onion, plus celery - all personal taste preferences (or what's in the fridge at that given moment).
It was very hearty :) Yeah whats in the fridge is my usual cookbook, haha. I WILL contribute to your soup challange too very soon :)
no worries - and honestly, one of these upcoming challenges is going to be a "clean out your fridge" soup!
This stew looks so amazing and I feel like my tastebuds are in overdrive right now! I have only tried lamb for the first time a few years ago...gosh, was I ever missing out! My husband and I have started the "new healthy eating thing" and this looks like an amazing receipe that I will be using for my family! Thank you so much amymya!
Wow, this looks good! I liked that you included the steps and pictures of how you make your entry. My mouth is watering just looking at it. Great Job!
Thank you! It was super delicious :) I was hungry all over again writing the post!
Looks soooo good!! Nothing beats stew in the winter:)
Ohhhh yeahhh
Looks soooo good!! Nothing beats stew in the winter:)
Wonderful post!
Thank you :D
Looks yummy! This is what I am making tonight :)
I do mine in a crock pot so I can work while it cooks. Things I do differently is that I don't brown the chops, I just toss them in the pot bone and all...and I add fresh celery but no peas.
For spices I just add salt, pepper, and basil...and if I am making a thick stew I take some of the broth after a few hours and make a little flour paste, add more broth to make a gravy and pour it back in the pot. Then let it cook a while longer.
Just before adding the gravy I cut the meat off the bone and cube it...
