traditional irish stew
This stew was traditionally made with lamb or mutton, potatoes and, every so often, carrots. Also, this is aboslutely AMAZING with some Irish soda bread, which I will be posting as well. :) For those of us who want something quick and easy, you can make this in the slow cooker a day in advance. This is a white stew, which means the meat itself isn't browned before going in. Also, making it a day in advance really brings out the combinations of flavors and gives them time to blend together. :)
