  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Ask and ye shall receive!

Crock-Pot Irish Stew
This is great for a cold day. Plus, it's a meal in a bowl; you don't really need to make anything else, although some crusty bread would be nice for sopping up the juices. Serves five.
•3 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
•Salt
•Freshly ground black pepper
•2 cups leeks, sliced
•1/2 cup flour
•4 ounces unsalted butter
•1 bottle Guinness beer
•3 cups beef stock
•1 cup tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
•1/2 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
•1/2 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
•1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
•1/4 tsp. marjoram
•2 chopped onions
•4 cloves garlic, cut in half
•2 Bay Leaf
•3 sprigs of fresh rosemary, plus 1 tablespoon chopped
•1/8 tsp. crushed dry thyme
•1 10 oz. package frozen peas - partially thawed
•2 small cans of tomato paste

Remove lamb from packaging. Rinse and pat dry. Remove as much fat as you can and muscle tissue. Cut into small mouth-size pieces. Salt and pepper pieces and dredge in flour.

Brown meat in shortening in a large skillet, over medium-high to high heat. Don't cook the meat; just get it brown.

Combine browned meat in Crock-Pot with remaining ingredients, except tomato paste, flour and frozen peas. (These will be added at the end.)

Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or until meat and potatoes are done.

Dissolve flour in 1/2 c. cold water and add to Crock-Pot with the peas and tomato paste.

Cover Crock-Pot, turn to high and cook 15 to 20 minutes.

Just made this about 2 weeks ago and brought it in the office! They wolfed it down and sopped it up with bread!:yes:
