A genuinely simple Irish stew — lamb, potato and carrot simmered together for close to two hours until the meat is properly tender. No fancy technique required, just time.

Ingredients
800glamb shoulder, cubed
5potatoes, chunked
4carrots, chunked
Instructions
1
Brown the lamb in a large pot in batches, without crowding the pan.
2
This lets it properly sear rather than steam.
3
Add the potatoes, carrots and enough stock to just cover everything, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the base of the pot as you stir.
4
Cover and simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, checking occasionally, until the lamb is properly tender and starting to fall apart, resist the urge to rush this, since the long simmer is the whole method.
