Real Irish Stew

This would be a great meal to do in the crock-pot for a cold winter's eve. Just add a green salad, warm soda bread and some fresh fruit for dessert.

Recipe Ingredients:

3 pounds lamb chops
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon dry thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 onion, sliced
6 carrots, sliced
2 cups water

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Remove bone from lamb chops. Cut lamb into large chunks, trimming off fat and gristle. In a large, covered baking dish, layer half of the potatoes, sprinkle with parsley, thyme, salt and pepper.
3. Next, layer the meat, onion, carrots, finishing with the remaining potatoes. Pour water on top, cover with aluminum foil, then cover with lid.
4. Bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until lamb is cooked and tender.

Makes 6 servings.
