?A traditional Irish stew is made with mutton, potatoes, carrots, onions, and parsley.
Place meat and vegetables in saucepan and cover with cold water. Add salt and pepper as required and flavor with a few parsley sprigs and add carrot slices. Slowly bring to a boil and skim off the top. Simmer over a very low heat for approximately 2 hours or until the meat is tender. Note:You can probably substitue lamb for the mutton and not need to cook as long. Also this kind of dish is good for buffets as soups and stews keep well and don't suffer for extended simmering
