Effectively an Irish stew but I didnt want to offend anyone in changing the recipe slightly to be as simple as possible using the good old bare bones of this classic, tasty stew. It is a stew to warm you from the inside out. Its comfort food for me and sometimes only comfort will do.

1 Put the stock in a large saucepan on a medium heat and add the lamb. Bring to the boil and skim off any impurities before adding the potatoes and bay leaves. Reduce the heat and leave the stew to simmer for 10 minutes.

2 Add all the remaining vegetables, season with salt and pepper and leave to simmer for a further 30-40 minutes until everything is cooked through.

Before serving, sprinkle the parsley on top.
A really tasty alternative to the lamb stock are a couple of tins of beef consommé.
