How authentic Irish stew is made

Get vegetables from a local Dublin market, including onions, leeks, carrots, and potatoes.

Choose Rooster and Maris Piper potatoes for their flavor and texture.

Select a piece of mutton from the butcher, noting its stronger flavor and toughness.

Prepare all ingredients before starting the stew.

Brown the mutton in a pan, then remove it.

In the same pan, sauté carrots, onions, and pearl barley.

Add the browned mutton and chicken stock to the pan.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 2 hours.

Add potatoes and leeks towards the end of cooking to prevent them from breaking down.

Serve the stew with soda bread and Irish stout.
