Title: Ardshane House Irish Stew
Categories: Irish, Main dish, Meats, Mom's best
Yield: 6 servings

4 lb Middle neck of lamb, cut in
One inch chunks
4 lb Potatoes, peeled
10 sm Onions, sliced
2 oz Pearl barley
2 pt Beef stock
Salt and pepper to taste

"That's the basic recipe. You can add a load of sliced carrots and
leeks to make it go further and about 5-6 tsps. of Worchestershire
sauce or regular brown sauce wot you Yanks pour over everything!! If
you like, you could add a half a pint of Guinness to your stock. I
make my stock from the potato peelings, carrot tops, leek ends, and
any other stuff I find lurking in the refrigerator. If you chuck in a
few moldy lamb bones and boil/simmer for several hours, you should
get a damned good stock (strain the liquid or you'll get God knows
what stuck in your teeth!!) You'll need to start with about 5 pints
of liquid. Then bung everything into a ginormous pan, bring to the
boil, and then simmer for about two hours...should taste bloody
orgasmic! Salt and pepper to taste, depending on your level of
drunkeness!!"

Title: Tom Moore's Irish Stew Casserole
Categories: Irish, Lamb, Stews, Casseroles
Yield: 2 servings

1 lb Lean lamb, the shoulder-or leg, cut into 1" dice
2 Potatoes, peeled and-thinly sliced
1 Onion, thinly sliced on [generous] rosemary
Chicken or lamb stock
Salt, pepper to taste

Layer one third of the potatoes in a small casserole. Top with half
the lamb and half the onion. Sprinkle lightly with rosemary, salt
and pepper. Repeat layers, ending with a final layer of potato. Add
enough chicken stock to almost cover the stew.

Cover the casserole and bake in a 325 oven until the lamb is quite
tender and the potatoes begin to almost dissolve and thicken the
mixture. (1- 1 1/2 hours)

I've made this in larger quantities in a crock pot. In this case, the
cooking time will be about 8-10 hours.

I got these directions for making Irish Stew (no real recipe) from the
owner of Tom Moore's Tavern in Bermuda (don't know how authentic it
is, as the gentleman was German, but it IS good) .
