The recipe for Irish Stew Ingredients

Irish stew features lamb as its main ingredient. Each Irish household boasts its unique recipe for this renowned dish. Personally, I prefer incorporating hearty parsnip chunks to introduce a subtle sweetness, along with fresh rosemary for a distinctive flavor and aroma. It's absolutely delightful on St. Patrick's Day, especially when paired with a pint of stout, the quintessential choice!

Irish Stew Ingredients

These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this Irish stew recipe: 

  • Oil: Cook the lamb in a tablespoon of olive oil. 
  • Lamb shoulder: Traditional Irish stew is made with lamb, but you can use boneless beef chuck if you prefer. 
  • Seasonings: Season the meat with salt and pepper. Fresh rosemary gives the stew flavor, while a fresh parsley garnish adds a pop of color. 
  • Vegetables: You’ll need an onion, carrots, a parsnip, potatoes, and leeks for this hearty Irish stew. 
  • Water: The broth starts with four cups of water.
