Attack of the Cabbage: Episode III
Wednesday of this week was officially St. Patrick’s Day, and to celebrate I decided to prepare a traditional Irish Lamb Stew. Fortunately we received just about all of the fixings required last week from our CSA. This was another great crock pot meal, and one that takes advantage of all the seasonal roots that are just beginning to come in: turnips, rutabagas, potatoes, and carrots. Also, it gets a great flavor from using the “less undesirables” of a lamb – the necks and shanks. Slow cooked, the marrow from the bones really gives it a rich and hearty flavor. In addition to the stew, I also made some Irish raisin bread, and served it all up with a couple of Half and Halfs. Alright, they were really Black and Tans – I did not have Harp, so I had to use Bass instead. But I really do know better…
