Meat goes best with vegetables. Therefore, meat stew is one of the healthiest dishes. It is also very tasty.
Irish stew is one of the most ancient dishes of the inhabitants of the emerald isle and the most popular and beloved by them to this day. It is difficult to say what the original recipe was, it has changed over the centuries and each chef supplemented it with something of his own, for example, adding beer or his own unique set of spices. But the obligatory component has always been meat, vegetables and fresh aromatic herbs.
The stew was baked in ovens or simmered on fires, getting a juicy and tender dish in gravy. Nowadays, there are many variations of the Irish stew. In the classic version, the stew is made from lamb leg, but you can also take veal if you wish. Traditionally, the Irish serve this dish to the table on St. Patrick's Day - the main holiday of the country.
