Tried an Irish Stew this week, using lamb (Icelandic lamb, if you must know). For the first time I browned the meat before adding to the slow cooker. Verdict … S’okay. I accidentally bought cilantro not flat leaf parsley. Rookie mistake, but then lost the final garnish. I also forgot to take a pic until after I put the leftovers away.
Forgot to take a pic! Whoops. There is a single piece of lamb there. See it?
I did an Irish soda bread experiment, halving the allrecipes recipe and making individual muffins instead of a loaf.
I asked the husband, who has a little Irish blood in him, if these tasted like Irish soda bread and he shrugged his shoulders. Who knows? Well, I thought they tasted really good. Lightly sweetened with a subtle tang to them.
Overall, not bad. But I hoped for more from the stew, what with the fancy meat and all…
