Irish Stew recipes vary depending on whom you ask.
The trick with this classic dish is to use a cheaper cut of meat, which means you save on price. Top quality meat is not necessary. Middle neck or other cheap cuts are both really tasty and perfect for braising.
1 tablespoonful of sunflower oil
200g smoked streaky bacon (preferably in one piece, skinned and cut into chunks)
900g stewing lamb, cut into large chunks
5 medium sized onions, sliced
5 carrots, sliced into chunks
3 bay leaves
Small bunch of thyme
100g pearl barley
850ml of lamb stock
6 medium potatoes cut into chunks
3 spring onions, finely sliced
Small knob of butter
1.Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140/gas 3.
Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole.
Fry the bacon for about 4 minutes until crisp.
Turn up the heat, and then cook the lamb for 6 minutes until brown.
Remove the meat with a slotted spoon. Add the onions, carrots and herbs to the pan, stir in the pearl barley, pour over the stock, then bring to a simmer.
2.Place the chunks of potato on top of the stew, cover, then braise in the oven for about one and a half hours until the potatoes are soft and the meat is tender.
Remove from the oven, put a few small pieces of butter on the potatoes, and scatter with the spring onions. Serve straight from the dish.
Serves 6. Preparation 30 mins – Total 2 hours
You can keep the stew in the fridge for 2 days, and then reheat it in a low oven or on top of the stove.
St. Patrick, famous for banishing snakes from Ireland, the Emerald Isle, is the patron of the same country and his day is celebrated in style, not only in Ireland, but in many other parts of the world. The considerable Irish population in New York has been known to colour the Hudson river green that day and the parades held in the streets of the Big Apple are very spectacular. 
Everyone is considered to be Irish on March 17th. The country itself comes to a halt on that date as the many fraternities and associations dress up and parade through the streets of both towns and villages alike. Weather permitting, there is a lot of outdoor entertainment. Mind you, after a couple of pints of the famous black beer – Guinness, the weather isn’t important!
And finally, an Irish blessing for everyone:
May there always be work for your hands to do
May your purse hold a bob or two
May the sun shine on your window pane
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you
HAPPY ST PATRICK’S DAY!
