This was great! Very traditional Irish-tasting. We actually didn't use lamb at all - used ground meat alternative instead (we're vegetarian). Good comfort food. We loved it as our main dish for St. Paddy's. DH's only complaint was that it had no garlic - he likes garlic in EVERYTHING. Thanks Rita!

This was a very tasty Irish Stew recipe. When the recipe was cooked I took out the potatoes and carrots and thickened the stew with some instant potato. This recipe had more herbs in it than what I usually do and was all the better for it.
