My daughter married a man from Ireland, so I decided to fix this stew for his family, when they came to visit. They loved it! I love it! Thank you for this delicious recipe!

This stew was awesome, and even better the day after. I used a 14 quart stockpot, which was just about right for 10 servings. Butcher didn't have boneless lamb shoulder so I had to carve out the bones myself (and it was still pretty expensive). I modified the recipe slightly by adding flour to thicken up the stew near the end.

This was a huge hit! Be sure to plan ahead and make it the day before, it is immensely better that way. If gravy is too thin, mash up a few of the potato pieces and stir them into the gravy -- it will thicken up nicely and taste great. I served with corn muffins and rosemary focaccia bread. Several guests put a slice of the bread at the bottom of their bowl and ladled the stew on top of it. This was a great way to sop up the gravy! I used wine as in the original recipe, and wow. We had dinner for ten, and 4 were from the UK and they said this stew was really authentic (and delicious). One hinted strongly for a doggie bag, so I gave him some leftovers!) I added 2 small packages of whole pearl mushrooms. Button mushrooms would also work -- again, I would add them whole. My butcher did not have shoulder, so he cut cubes from a boneless leg, worked great. I used slightly less meat, slightly more veggies, and just over half the bacon. Awesome!

This stew has amazing flavor but for some reason it turned out really greasy. I followed the recipe exactly and I'm not sure where I went wrong. Other that, it was delicious and I will definetely try making again.

Extremely labor intensive, in my opinion, but definitely DEFINETLY worth it. It was fantastic and perfectly rediculously fattening, but it's great for a once or twice a year treat.

A really lovely, easy and delicious stew. I tried it with 1/2 can of lager instead of wine or Guinness and it was very light and flavoursome. Not too heavy. Will regularly use this recipe! Also very easy to make a smaller amount of stew and adjust the ingredients as you see necessary.

Great recipe. I didn't have beef broth so just added water, and I used goat meat instead....not too many chevon recipes out there - so I find lamb recipes and substitute. Great flavor - and wonderful over basmati rice the next day.

Wonderful! I used leftover Easter lamb, so I didn't have as much, and I just scaled down the rest of the recipe. Added mint leaves, and the flavor was incredible. Definitely a keeper!

This is a great recipe! I used left over from Easter lamb. It was already seasoned, but I still cooked it in the bacon grease for more good flavor. Then I put it in a crock pot, with mushrooms and carrots and beef stock. As the day went on I added some wine and then the flour. I never even added any other seasoning because the flavor was already unbelievable. I probably could of thickened up a bit more, but we ate it over left over mashed potatoes...I'm telling you this was to die for! Great basic recipe to work with. I will be cooking a lot more lamb from now on. Oh, my daughter says that it was a gift from the gods lol!

Fantastic! Followed the recipe to the tee and it turned out great. Leftovers the next night were as big a hit as the first night. I served it over potpie noodles for lunch the following day and it was better yet.

Absolutely awesome stew. I made a large pot for St. Patty's Day and I had no leftovers. My friends went back for 2 and 3 bowls of it over the course of the night. I made it the day before on the stovetop, then transferred it to my slow cooker to refrigerate overnight. I taste tested it before I put it away and it was great. The next day all I had to do was put it on low for a few hours and my friends and family could just help themselves once it was up to temperature. I swear it tasted a million times better after staying in the fridge overnight!

Have made this recipe the past three years for St. Patricks day and it has always been excellent. I have tried putting lots of black pepper, a moderate amount of black pepper, and the called for amount of black pepper and all three came out great; although the batch with a lot of black pepper was very potent so be careful. I have not had anyone who has tried it say they don't like it.

I am giving feedback for a slightly modified version of this recipe. First modification: I trimmed extra fat off the bacon after it was cooked, but before chopping it up. Second modification: I used Guinness instead of white wine. Third modification: I let the finished product chill and scraped the 1/4-inch layer of fat off the top. The recipe itself is not well written and can be confusing for an inexperienced cook. First, the recipe calls for 3 potatoes. It does not specify what size potatoes or even recommend a variety. I used 5 medium/small red potatoes, in case the potatoes should have been larger ones - to make up the difference. Also, the recipe does not specify what size to cut the potatoes, although it does specify the size of the carrot pieces. Which brings me to my next comment. The recipe says diced carrots, which in my training means chopped into medium bits, but the photo with the recipe shows typical stew-size chunks of carrot (which is what I chose to do). That said, this stew is excellent: The lamb was tender; the flavors blend well; and the combination of lamb, beef broth, and bacon give it a complexity that keeps your taste buds entertained and totally satified. I dropped some off at my sister's house on St. Patrick's Day and she and her family called to cheer! I will definitely keep this recipe and make it again. I would have given it 5 stars if the instructions had been clearer.

At last I found the closest thing to gamma's lamb stew!! Very good indeed! I did add some mutton sausage in with the lamb though, and used some "celtic chardonnay" for the wine, ab-fab, mate!
