Correct me if I'm wrong but traditional Irish stew was never made with Rapeseed or even olive oil - in many rural places those oils were not imported till recently. Tallow, Lard or butter were used and they all taste million times better than any oil. I don't know why so many chefs nowdays use odourless oils instead of those natural beefy nutty fats that are bursting of flavour and aroma and will instantly infuse anything you cook in them - veggies or meats. Try it and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed. Moreover - you would make your grandma proud of you! ;-)

First up - traditional Irish stew makers would not have lamb nor celery. No one would slaughter a lamb early when you could let it grow up. Mutton would always be the meat of choice. Celery was relatively unheard of in Ireland until the 1980s. I never ate it as a child. Donal was born in 1986. This is nowhere near a traditional stew. A traditional Irish stew would be mutton, potatoes and whatever else was lying around. That's it. To make out there was a recipe is a joke and an insult to Irish people.

Worst version of Irish Stew i have ever seen! I know its your take on it, but the whole point in stewing, is the spuds going slightly mush and soaking in the broth. Not doing the spuds seperately and then putting the pot in an oven to roast/bake! Poor effort man. And i am actually a huge fan of 99. 9% of your videos. This is a downmarker im afraid.

Watched this tutorial this morning and decided to have a crack at this dish, dead simple, browned my lamb, then used the pan to soften the veg, added the beef stock and put the lamb back and added those sliced potatoes. Next time I ll make double the quantity it was fantastic!

I much prefer this dish with dumplings over potatoes. I also prefer to use meat on the bone. My Irish friend says the original recipe had dumplings not potatoes. But I am sure everyone has cooked this dish in their own way from the beginning of time.

I amended the recipe by adding a little paprika, butter beans and tinned plum tomatoes, sprinkled a little thyme on the potatoes and it came out fabulous. Probably not a stew anymore and heading into goulash territory but who cares it was tasty!

I have scotch-Irish and German ancestors. My mother tends to make more German food then Irish food. We should make this because it looks really good. This is going to sound really random but I think the Irish accent is adorable.

Well, I made this today. I was fairly nervous, my partner being Irish an' all, but it was an absolute triumph and she reckons it's the best she'd ever had. Really easy to make, so I'll definitely be doing it again. Thanks Donal.
