History & Origin
Irish stew grew from rural one-pot cookery using mutton, onions and potatoes, ingredients well suited to long, gentle simmering. Modern versions often include lamb, carrots and herbs, but the character remains a clear broth, tender meat and vegetables rather than a heavily thickened sauce.
