Really quite easy recipe prep wise, cooking time is close to 2 hours if you want it done right. I got the recipe from my sister's Irish boyfriend. I've also taken out the brown sugar to make it a bit healthier.

1 1/4 pounds veal. (I use veal shoulder chops, or veal cubes)
1 cup flour (add only if you choose to increase the thickness)
3 teaspoons of salt (more to taste)
1/4 cup olive oil
6 large garlic cloves, minced
4 cups beef stock or broth
2 cups water
1 cup of Guinness extra stout (I use the whole Tallboy)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 Strings or Rosemary
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons butter
2 pounds small potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped (1 1/2 to 2 cups)
2 cups 1/2-inch pieces peeled carrots (3 to 4 carrots)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

cooking...

Step 1 - brown the lamb/veal.

Step 2 - Add garlic to the pot with the lamb/veal and sauté 30 seconds
Add the stock, water, Guinness, tomato paste, thyme, Rosemary, and bay leaves. Stir to combine. Bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to the lowest setting, then cover and cook at a bare simmer for 1 hour 20 mins, stirring occasionally. (Important to stir or contents at bottom will settle and burn)

Step 3- Add the onions, carrots, and the potatoes to the stew. Add black pepper and two teaspoons of salt, butter. Simmer uncovered until vegetables and veal are very tender, about 30-40 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Tilt pan and spoon off any excess fat.

Transfer stew to serving bowl. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Enjoy Lups!

I probably won't. I love these recipes because they truly bring out the tastes of the ingredients, and Irish foods are a lot like Finnish (good, traditional foods, not the shit my mom cooked) recipes. You can't fuck with them at all or you ruin the roots.

An hour of sleep last night m. Lets get back to this when my head starts working.

I usually make this in the winter time when I hold a card game at my place. I usually serve it in a fresh baked bread bowl that my wife makes. I'm the cook and she's the baker. That is also how we got it served to us when we were in Northern Ireland 2 years ago.

You're welcome to come to Toronto anytime. I usually eat it with a Guinness or Murphy's Irish Stout if I can find.

I actually like subway. Yes, it does give out weird smell from the bread, but they are decent.
Thanks to this post about Subway, my family is going to Subway for dinner.
I received a Subway coupons last week!

Dude, I like cheap people.
No wonder you are so popular with female.
Dumbass female loves guys who spends $$ excessively.
Smart female tend to love guys who are frugal.

The spicy Italian is my "go to" at Subway.

[UncleWede]

6" cold cut combo is only $3.50
Mayo on the bread, provolone, spinach, tomato, bell pepper and siracha sauce on top.
