Very good overall. Instead of water, I deglazed the pan with Guinness. I also thickened the sauce with a "beurre manier" (flour mixed with butter).

Two things that never came from Ireland. Green beer. Corned Beef and Cabbage. The Lamb Stew is great and very authentic. Also, "Patty" is short for Patricia and "Paddy" is short for Patrick. Happy St.Patricks Day to all.

Like many reviewers, I also scaled down the lamb. For two people planning on lots of leftovers, I used .8lbs lamb and all the vegetables, broth, etc. for 5 servings. The lamb was tender, the broth rich and delicious, and the vegetables soaked up all the lamb and bacon flavors perfectly. One issue: the bacon got kind of soggy. Next time I might throw it in after the lamb has been simmering for half an hour so that it keeps its shape a bit better.

I pretty much followed the recipe exactly except that I scaled it down added a bottle of Guiness as some other reviewers suggested. I can see how people might really like this, but the flavor was way too strong for us. We had to put a dollop of sour cream to take the sharp edges off and my daughter tasted it and actually spit it out and almost started crying.

This recipe was awesome. I used about 2lbs each of lamb and beef, increased carrots and potatoes as most people suggested. I also added guinness, rosemary and a few other seasonings to taste. Thickened it with cornstarch toward the end. I started cooking at noon, dinner was ready by 6 and it was great. My dogs did not leave the kitchen for those 6 hours. And every time I went to stir the stew I nearly cried from joy it smelled so good.

Best lamb stew I've ever had! Lamb stew is one of my favorite dishes but I had never made it myself because I thought I'd never be able to match the great stews I've had in the past. Well, I tried this recipe and I'll definitely, and with confidence, be making it again! Only changes I made was using turkey bacon instead of beef and in a smaller amount than recommended for the bacon, I used fresh thyme and a thinly sliced celery stalk, added a bottle of Guinness stout beer (as another reviewer had recommended), and stirred in fresh parsley at the end. The stew was truly superb, I can't believe I'm saying this about my own cooking but I don't think a fine restaurant can do better than I did with this one!!! The only thing I might change next time is the amount of lamb--I was making four servings and two-and-a-half pounds was a bit too much meat for us, but that of course is a matter of preference. Next time I make four servings I'll probably just use a pound or so of the lamb.

I have been meaning to review this for quite awhile so here it is. This definitely deserves a 5 star and more. I started out with the 10 serving recipe and this year will start making it for 30 servings as my closest friends want it and their friends also want it. I had to buy a 20 quart stock pot so it could hold all the ingredients. The flavor is just fantastic and worth the time and effort it takes to make. I use boneless leg of lamb as none of the grocery stores I went to can get all the pounds of the lamb shoulder I need, but it still tastes great and even better after letting the flavors meld together for a few days in the refrigerator. I round it off with a few loaves of Irish Soda Bread. This makes a great gift for those friends that have already bought everything they want. Thanks Danny for a lifetime keeper of a recipe.

This was great. I used Turkey Bacon b.c. that's all I had. Therefore, I had to use a little extra oil in the preparations. It turned out great. Not too oily. Will definetly make again.

Really good recipe. Tweaked it a little by adding a little allspice and substituting red wine instead of white. Also added a dash of hot sauce for a little heat. Turned out great! Recipe is a keeper!
