AN IRISH COOK’S LAMENT
“Ubh gan salann, pog gan croimbeal”
(An egg without salt is like a kiss from a beardless man)
THE McCUNE TRADITIONAL IRISH STEW
2 lbs. stewing lamb
1/2 cup cubed carrot
1/2 cup cubed turnip
1 onion (sliced)
1 potato (cubed)
2 cups sliced potato
salt to taste
pepper to taste
Cut the lamb pieces into bite-sized pieces. Cover with boiling water, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour. Add cubed carrot, cubed turnip, sliced onion, cubed potato, and the sliced potato. Cover and simmer for 1/2 hour. Salt and pepper to taste. If a thicker stew is desired, mix 1/4 cup flour with 1/4 cup water and pour into the finished stew. Cook and stir until smooth and thick.
(Sometimes we thicken the stew with mashed potatoes).
