An excellent Irish stew from Monica Sheridan's Art of Irish Cooking:
3 pounds neck of lamb 1 sprig thyme
12 medium potatoes 2 cups (aprox.) water
4 large onions sliced Salt and pepper
Remove the fat from the meat and cut into 8 to 10 sections through the bone.
Do not remove the bone, as this adds flavor. Peel the potatoes and slice one-
third of them in thin slices. Leave the rest of the potatoes whole. Into a
saucepan put the thinly sliced potatoes, then a layer of sliced onions, and then
the sections of lamb. Season well. Add the thyme and another layer of sliced
onion. Cover with the remainder of the potatoes, which have been left whole.
Season again and add 2 cups water. Cover the pot with aluminum foil and a very
tight-fitting lid. Cook in an oven for 2 1/2 hours at 350 or simmer gently over
the stove for the same time. The thinly sliced potatoes at the bottom of the
pot should dissolve and thicken the joice, while the potatoes on top retain
their shape and remain floury. (The author continues: There is a vulgar
version of this stew in which carrots are added. Very wrong.)
A Dutch oven works great.
