Irish Lamb Stew, Stobhach, is Ireland's national dish. It is made of lamb or mutton, potatoes, onions and parsley, sometimes adding when available, turnips, parsnips, carrot and barley. When made in the traditional manner this dish is thick and hearty. Traditionally goat/sheep and root veggies were used before the 16th century introduction of potatoes. This recipe is made with tender lamb, leek, red potatoes, and thickened with split peas.
