IRISH STEW
|
|
DIRECTIONS
- Cut the meat in pieces about an inch and a half square.
- Put the meat in a saucepan, and cover with cold water.
- Place the saucepan on the fire, and bring to the boiling-point.
- Reduce the heat, cover the saucepan, and let simmer gently for one hour, adding a little hot water from time to time if necessary.
- While the meat is simmering, peel the potatoes, cut them in quarters, and boil in the small saucepan for twenty minutes.
- Drain the water from the potatoes, and when the meat has simmered for an hour add the potatoes to it.
- Mix the flour with the cream or milk, and stir it into the stew.
- Add the salt and pepper, increase the heat, and let the stew boil quickly for a minute or two.
REMARKS
When the stew has simmered for an hour, there should be about 1 cup of liquid left in the saucepan. If more than that remains, pour off enough so as to leave only about 1 cup.
