  • I loved traveling with the royal family and Sandringham at Christmas and New Year was one of my favorite times. "Shooting lunches" were really important and that meant preparing delicious comfort food lunches for the royals and their guests.
    In this video I share the simple rustic dish that tastes delicious and is so easy to make.

    3 large parsnips, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
    1 rutabaga (swede) peeled and cut into cubes

    My mother's Irish stew was very traditional, at least in Cork. Scrag end or mutton chops, swede and carrot, a couple of diced potatoes which cooked down and thickened the stew, water and that was it! Served with a big bowl of floury potatoes boiled in their skins, a loaf of bread, farmhouse butter and plenty of white pepper...happy memories.

I always toss my lamb cubes in seasoned flour before searing them, then remove them to a bowl while I sweat off onion, garlic, celery and carrots in the same pan with all the fond still stuck in the pan.Then a glug of Worcestershire sauce. I scrape the bits off the bottom as they release. Then back in with the meat, and some stock, a bay leaf or two and yes, let it blip away slowly. Potatoes, unpeeled, in last half-hour.Then some frozen peas, salt & pepper. Never fails. I also use fresh Rosemary and thyme. My mouth is watering! Next time I will add rutabaga! Big Love to all!☘

      Seasoned flour is flour you’ve added spices to, like salt and pepper, the reason for the flour is it thickens the stew nicely and the searing cooks the flour so it doesn’t taste starchy.

    In our house (Tipperary) stew was made from whatever root veg was in the fridge, there would be a spud or two in it but the mother would cook a big pot of floury spuds too. Mam always used to throw in a whole spanish onion too, sometimes dumplings if she had time to make them. I used to stand beside the pot as a small child with my little bowl and she would give me some soup from the bubbling pot and I'd eat it with big chunks of bread smothered in kerrygold butter. Yum, great memories.

He'll have his spoon in one hand and his warm tortilla in the other. After he devours the lamb, carrots, and potatoes, he dives into that corn on the cob. Naturally, he has a cerveza nearby. !Salud!

    My grandmother and mother only knew Irish Stew with shin of beef and also added pearly barley. Back in the day. lamb was more expensive than dirt cheap shin beef and therefore more accessible to those living in poverty. Hence, also, the addition of barley to bulk it out. You're bang on right about the simplicity ... water & boil. No thickening agent except for potato some of which was cut very thinly in order to melt down into the gravy. If it was good enough in1890's Waterford, it's good enough for me now! Love your vids, by the way. More power to your elbow!

    I'm 81 and grew up on Irish stew, always on St. Patrick's Day when my Irish father rebelled against corned beef and cabbage--not Irish--until the 70s when CB/C became okay. We were poor, and my mother used some kind of mystery lamb in the stew--each piece came with a wavy band of fat. Couldn't eat it! BUT, she made the best dumplings which simmered in the stew, large with plenty of black pepper, just the way my father liked them! Me, too!

      My folks would flour the meat in flour with lots of salt and pepper in it. If you caught it just right, the browned meat just off the stove and before being added back was the best part. Onions and carrots always, sometimes celery, fresh peas the very last added. The flour off the browned beef made a roux that made a brown gravy or whatever you want to call it. The liquid was water and a bottle of beer. Lagers seem to work better than ales IMHO, not bittered by the hops.

    I cook beef stew for my family once a week and it’s our favourite. I like to add tomato purée, a little Worcester sauce and English mustard as well as fresh thyme with veg stock. I am going to do a irish stew though using the lamb.

    this is my favorite kind of food. As a kid i used to love watching Keith Floyd on TV with my grandparents. He would cook lots of stuff like this; just big chunks of veggies, huge parts of meat just thrown into a massive pot, whole bottle of red wine in there and simmer it away for hours. It's so easy, and it's honestly the best tasting food because with all that time comes so much rich flavor.

    My Irish immigrant great grandmother used to cook me all her famous recipes she learned from her mum in the 1910s and 1920s. She loved Irish stew, but when the great depression hit America in 1929, lamb became nearly nonexistant in American cooking. She would use beef and renamed it “boiled dinner.” Maybe not too appetizing of a name, but then, many foods from the British Isles sound a bit funny, so why shouldn’t my Irish-American family’s food sound funny? 😅

    Edit: My mom would do nearly the same as you've done (only difference, no rutabagas), Lamb for Irish stew, but sometimes beef too (which probably be an 'beef' stew and not an 'Irish' stew).

    We call that guisado in Portugal, or jardineira if we add pees. We also use beef instead of lamb, but the rest of it is cooked in practically the same way. I guess every country has a version of this. The Hungarians have the Goulash, also pretty similar. The Turks also make it with beef instead of lamb, and add a dash of cinnamon to it, which makes it taste even more delish. It’s a red meat stew, a stapple and global classic of comfort food, I guess.

    Hello from Northern Ireland 😃👋We used to use either lamb or beef. I remember mum using both. The only other things that were put into it were onions, carrots, potatoes and beef stock. One of the nicest stews I have eaten apart from my mothers, was in Dublin. When I was in Dublin with a friend, we went into this little place they was like a pub that served food, and we had the Irish stew along with Guinness bread. It was delicious. The other time was on St Patrick’s day in the local town in a restaurant. The stew was beautiful that day as well. I have only one complaint about it, and that is they didn’t give you enough of a portion lol 😅😅🤣
