The lamb should be so tender it falls off the bone and the gravy lightly thickened by the potatoes. Being Irish, there is always at least as many potatoes as meat!

If you are a fan of fighting food waste, try our Irish stew with carrot top salsa verde that adds a nice fresh element and stop them ending up in the bin.
