I smoke up a Boneless leg of lamb from Costco and had a bunch of leftover lamb, so I decided to make Irish Lamb Stew. Here are the ingredients:
3/4 pound thickly sliced bacon, diced
3 pounds lamb, cut into bite size chunks
1-1/2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
2 cups beef stock
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 cups diced carrots
1 large onions, cut into bite-size pieces
2 potatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaves
1/2 cup Guinness Beer
Here are the directions:
1) Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside.
2) Drain fat from frying pat until you have 1/4 cup left in pan. Add the garlic and yellow onion and saute till onion begins to become golden. Deglaze frying pan with 1/4 cup white wine and add the garlic-onion mixture to the stock pot with bacon pieces, beef stock, lamb and sugar. Cover and simmer for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
3) Add carrots and cook for 10 minutes, then add onions, potatoes, thyme, bay leaves, and beer to pot. Reduce heat, and simmer covered for 30 minutes until vegetables are tender.
I have to say this very, very good and recommend everybody try it out. I think I will be smoking another leg of lamb, just so I can make this again. The great thing about it is the flavors actually get better when you let it cool and heat it up the next day.

"The great thing about it is the flavors actually get better when you let it cool and heat it up the next day."
So if you send me a bowl it will be cooled off by the time it gets here and I can heat it up and will be even better than what you have right now. Sounds good lets give er try.
